doubt it. https://www.sciencedirect.com/scien...eased IGF-1,old significantly increased IGF-1.
u shaped igf1 response. as long as your micros and macros are good youll likely actually grow more (if your using an aromatase inhibitor. working out creates a much larger test increase in relation to igf1 increase, meaning you would aromatise. not sure tho because it does increase dht as well).

also people say compressive forces dont matter, it will make you shorter short term. people say "your body will decompress when you sleep" but it can have an impact. also will worsen posture problems if you have them (but easily fixable).
for me, after stopping squats and dl and swapping with leg press and hamstring curls + good mornings i decompress less (before would be 177to 173, but now its 177 to 175).

purely just anecdotes here though. if you want to get high numbers, squat + dl is what you want. benching 115kg is less impressive than deadlifting than 200kg, even though id argue that 200kg dl is easier than 115kg bench.

Yes it will, don’t let people tell you otherwise.
