i think i might go with free weights to gain mass, i've heard they're by far the best for mass gain.

Weight lifters are short because tall ppl suck at lifting weights. A tall person just can't develop the amount of relative muscle mass a short person can. The average strength/height ratio is higher for short ppl.

True, the strongest olympic weightlifters are small, but for bodybuilding being taller helps because it gives you better lines. Arnold Schwarzenegger was pretty tall.

not quite so. Most so-call body builder only concentrated their build on their upper bodies (parts where you can see) and negelected the lower half. Dont ever make this mistake. Balance your exercise to both upper and lower body.

Well, itīs also a matter of simple physics, shorter people doesn't need to lift the weights as high as taller people, and the higher you lift something the more energy it will take. Thatīs why short people can excel at weight lifting, itīs not why they are small.

I do not mean to flame, but do you have any idea how ignorant that comment is?

It is like saying basketball makes you tall..... because people that play basketball are all tall.

Do you see where i am coming from?

The psuedo-science and myths presented in this thread can do nothing against cold hard fact, that being that weightlifting, heavy or not, will NOT stunt growth. There is no evidence to suggest otherwise, and no, what you read in Womens Day is not evidence.

Smee, incase you don't read this (old) thread, i will send you a pm inviting you to www.bodybuilding.com , where you can be free of most of this misinformation

I have not read this whole thread. Several of my points may already have been mentioned.
There is evidence for and against this. I know people who lift every day and are 6 ft or more tall. Then again, I am taller than the strongest person I know [half a ton of leg press. Think D&D dwarf, but about 5' 10"].
However, take gymnist [how do you spell this word?!] as another example. I do not know one tall gymnist [I'd know. I went out with one].
Just my views. I think it's coincidental...

Exercise has absolutely nothing to do with it, it's all in your genetic makeup.
The only thing it has to do with your body shape is whether you are fat or not.

try a variation of push-ups wide armed, narrow armed, leg high, one-armed push-ups.

you could also try a variation of pull-ups same as above plus head fron pull ups, head back pull-ups and try changing your hand grip on the bar (i.e grab it so that you pull with your bicebs while flexing your arm)

i'm not sure if this has been cleared up completely, so i'll say this: excorsizing does NOT stun your growth.... but building muscle DOES.

strength training like weight lifting is okay. but until you've reached maturity, take breaks from strength training every now and then to let your body recover its shape
