It is a complete myth that lifting makes you short or stunts your growth.

I've lifted on and off since I was 14 (I'm 38), and I'm 6' tall.

yea, look at vin diesel or mark walberg. Both are around 5' 7" and both are very buff. Most buff guys that I see, and guys around that gym that can lift very heavy weights, and can have the ability to kick my arse, are at least 3-4 inches shorter than I am.

Check out the heights of some of the top competitive bodybuilders. If they are shorter, it's easier to look massive because of the proportions involved. Lee Priest (who places around 6 in top competitions) is only 5'7", and I've seen many others that are around that height. Granted, some of the monsters are taller but not much. Ronnie Coleman is 5'11"; Jay Cutler is 5'9"; Dexter Jackson is 5'6"; King Kamali is 5'10"; Shawn Ray is 5'7".

Not sure what your point is but shorter bodybuilders have a natural advantage... a tall man would need an insane amount of bodyweight to compete with a guy like Lee Priest who is closer to 5'4". (I've seen him in person)

Ronnie Coleman is a freak and it's no wonder he is the reigning bodybuilder.

My point? People were talking about height and lifting weights.

Oops, you're right on Lee Priest's height. I pulled it from a site that was apparently way off the mark.

I work out 3 days a week and run 10-12 miles total 1 or two days. You will probably just have to grow into your frame before you can become 'Buff.' Whatever the hell that means.

I'm allmost 16 and i'm in the beginning stages of puberty (yes my family genes hit puberty late).

I'm allmost 6 foot as i said, what do you guys think i will grow to?

I really wanna be at least 6'4" or 6'3"
