Hey, I was wondering if sit ups/curl ups and weight lifting stunt growth. Due to the amount of weight and muscle not allowing bones to grow any further. If so, does sitting down while lifting weights help?

Weightlifting can help increase muscle mass and strength, but it does not have any direct impact on a person's height. In fact, weightlifting can improve overall health and potentially contribute to a better posture, which can make a person appear taller.
There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that sit-ups can stunt growth. In fact, sit-ups can help strengthen abdominal muscles and improve overall physical fitness, but they do not have any effect on a person's height.
Weightlifting at a young age can be beneficial for building strength, but it is important to use proper form and not overdo it. As long as the exercises are done correctly and with supervision, weightlifting should not have any negative impact on growth.
Yes, it is generally safe for teenagers to lift weights as long as they use proper form and do not overexert themselves. It is important for teenagers to start with lighter weights and gradually increase the weight as they build strength. It is also recommended to have supervision from a trained professional.
Weightlifting does not have any effect on the growth that occurs during puberty. In fact, regular exercise can have positive effects on overall health and may contribute to proper growth and development during this time. It is important to use proper form and not overexert oneself when weightlifting during puberty.
