If you are a child, it is best to wait until you are 16 years of age before you lifts weights. If you are an adult, exercise has nothing to do with your height. How tall you are depends upon your genetics and your nutrition. It is true that, if you are using very heavy weights, doing back squats can temporarily decrease your height by up to half an inch, but, during recovery, you will be just as tall as you were before squatting. Learn perfect exercise technique and do basic exercises such as squats, deadlifts, rows, presses, dips, and chins. Do a whole body routine, and wait at least 24 hours after all DOMS (delayed onset muscular soreness) has disappeared before training again. Eat sufficient protein from natural sources every three waking hours. Please consult your personal physician before significantly changing your dietary or exercise habits.
