Can weight lifting stunt growth?

My friend' younger brother is a lot shorter than he is, and short than their father as well. He is the same height as their mom actually. He started body building when he was 14 so I am curious if this can happen?

I never heard of this effecting growth in height. I guess it can but I wouldn't say it would make a difference bigger than an inch.

I think it can effect hormones at that age but not enough to drastically alter his DNA make-up! He likely got his height from his mother's side.

No way! My brother always worked out since he was like 12, and I hardly did until I got older and he is a good 5 inches taller than me.
