I was just wondering cuz i am 19 and ma friends are discouraging me from doing body building. They claim it will have an effect on how tall i am going to be, so they want me to wait until i am 21 when i would have presumably stopped growing.

The long bones of the growth continues at genetically determined rate until the long bones of the growth plates at the long bones of the body fuse shut malnutrition can limit growth but bodybuilding exercises cannot.

No! It’s a myth-trust me. Also, you will have stopped growing at about age 18. However, saying that, i believe that it is fine to do bodybuilding 18+, because any younger than that, and you are much less likely to get injured as your bones are still developing etc
but it does nothing to your height…

A few things that help…
I was 5’7 at 23. now I am turning 24 in a month and I am 6′0. I grew the most during last summer because I actually started using super-growth height enhancer 6 month course.
the following helped me and still help:
1) Drinking at least 2 big glasses of milk a day.
2.) playing basketball and going swimming. Basketball really helps, and you should also work out your calves and thigh muscles, that helps too.
3)Eat alot, because when I started to get taller I didn’t gain a pound but I looked skinnier.
4) this is another natural solution to grow taller and quicker
