I am 16 and 5,10. hopping to grow some more till 5 11 or even 6 feet tall. I would like to start working out my legs, and was wondering if it would be safe for me. Since most leg exercise are pulling u down.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
if you squat with heavy heavy weight for prolonged periods, your spine will compress to bear the load of the weight, if your plates are still open you will prematurely cause a fusing of your spine reducing the chance of growth in your torso.
legg press is a good alternative to squats while you are still growing but not perfect.

Don't worry, squats won't stunt your growth. But if will make you feel better, just go ahead and hang upside down from a bar after your squat workout.
****, if anything, squats will probably make you taller, being that when you workout hard like that you are circulating a lot more growth hormone.
I lifted weights all throughout my teen years, and I ended up 6-2 at nineteen.

Differing Oppinions
This is definatelly a touchy subject and there are many different views and oppinions when it comes to stunting your growth but what i've grown to believe is: no it does not stunt your growth.
All the tests that have been conducted leave no evidence that lifting stunts your growth, but then again, finding evidence of such a thing is a very difficult process.
There has been studies which attempt to say that lifting (especially compound movements) have the tendancy to prematurely fuse your bone plates, which ultimately leaves you smaller then if you never lifted.
Personal trainers told me this, but still i believe it doesn't stunt your growth b/c of the lack of evidence to support their claims.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Lifting absolutely does not stunt your growth. There are an abundance of scientific studies out there that support this statement.
