Reply to comment by babycam in Could excessive or early weightlifting affect height development? by [deleted]
he did have early cessation of growth. Compared to his parents he really ended up on the shorter side. Plus what I'm more worried about is the fact that his bone age advanced DESPITE no biological maturation as it is stated in the article. which could be due to the fact he had pretty high test and estradiol levels (740 test with 800 being the highest normal level for his age). Could building muscle through strength training induce in extreme cases such as this one an effect of acceleration when it comes to puberty??Could it increase androgen production and in a way force the body to go through puberty much faster? that's my question. As I said I don't claim to be a doctor and could very well be wrong.
