Does going to the gym affect growth?

[Architectural]

I've heard that going to the gym at a young age (I'm 14) can affect your growth. I'm 5'9" but I haven't really started puberty, or at least it's not very advanced.So should I go or not?

No bro I started lifting when I even didnt have a lot hair on my balls and now im quite tall for 13 im 176cm and im doing everything to failure and I would say that the gym is one of the best thing I could start at young age

Not unless you are overtraining, or get a serious fracture , tear etc

Force you to what? You can go to doctor if she doesnt believe you but choose a good doctor because some will say that the gym will kill because they are sub5 skinnycells

Obertraining wont do anything to growth. If you tear muscle it will also prob wont do too much to growth but it will have other side effects but if you do warmup you wont prob get any tear

Chronic overtraining would have an affect but you are right that a tear isnt the be all end all

I dont think that he would do 14 sets 18 reps per muscle Group and something like this wont have affect on growth but theres 99% change that he can tear a muscle
