Mike	First of all, how old are you? If you have not gone through puberty yet, or are not fully through it, then you shouldn't be lifting. You can get shoulder injuries, and too much lifting would affect how much more you grow. If you end up growing more at all. If you really want to build up those arm muscles, try using light dumb bells, but doing a lot of repetetive work with them. Absolutely NO bench pressing. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Joel T	Weight training does not effect your growth. Your genetics all ready decide that for you. The reason why you hear that weight training stops growth is because in the late 1800's early 1900's the weightlifters of that time were considered strange, so the kids liked what they saw so they wanted to do the same thing so what the parents did was to scare them and tell them if they lift weights they won't grow or stay short for the rest of there lives. I started bodybuilding when I was 12 and I'm almost 6 feet. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
