Light workouts should not stunt growth at all, but bench pressing heavy weights can.
Not necessarily.Weight training can be done safely by young children. However, using weights that are too heavy, improper form, and inadequate rest can injure the young athlete and cause permanent damage. A youth weight training program should be supervised by an experienced and knowledgeable trainer who is familiar with the special needs and limitations of children.There is no scientific basis for the claim that weightlifting will stunt your growth. However, it is important to use proper technique an avoid overtraining, as this can cause injury and may affect future vertical growth.

No, weightlifting does not stunt your growth. However, you should not start too early because you may injure yourself in other ways.

Yes, a 15 year old can lift weights with high intensity and not stunt his or her growth. Studies have confirmed that this is a great age to start exercising to this extent.
It doesn't. It's a commonly held myth. Normal, properly performed resistance exercise will not stunt growth in young people. Younger individuals should be carefully supervised when weight lifting, especially when attempting more complicated lifts with heavier weights. It's possible an injury resulting from improper use of weights could stunt growth, but it shouldn't be an issue if proper supervision and training is given.
