ReplyDeleteYou should weight until you are 16 to start lifting heavier weights. Just use your own body weight and do push ups, pull ups and sit ups.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that stunts growth is severe malnutrition or severe illness in childhood.

Doing any form of exercise helps in increasing the secretion of human growth hormone (HGH).
Also you need plenty of sleep and a good diet.
