for all you young'uns...
I was a personal trainer for Bally's and I have set many people up on weight training programs. I have to say, without any hesitation, that the Body For Life program is the fastest, easieste method for packing on muscles and strength._I added into it, deadlifts, and powercleans.)
Go to the site and do the workout-it's forty minutes for upper body and forty minutes for lower body. All you have to do is follow the program, and EAT!!! Eat real food and get enough protien and low glycemic index carbs and you will become huge.
Later on, you can jump to techniques lke Mentzer's High Intensity training. But trust me, my guys have made such huge gains-especially because at your age, your body is producing so much growth hormone, and weight training increases the production of growth hormone, it's better than steroids-it's natural, and it's real!
Well I'm kinda short so I stay away from the exercises that seem to cause a stunt in growth like deadlifts, barbell squats, or benches. I use dumbells and I have a sorta schedule thing like legs one night, arms the next and chest /back /shoulders and that's repeated with a rest in one of the days.
Deadlift 5sx5r
Romanian deadlift 5sx5r
Lying leg curl 3sx5-7r
Barbell row 3sx5-7r
Hanging leg raises 3sx12-15r
Rest 2 minutes between sets.
Do a weight that you can do at least twp sets of 5 on. If you can do all 5 sets of 5 then the weight is too light. If you can only do a total of 15 after 5 sets its too heavy.
Keep this up until you can do 5set of 5 then increase the weight.

weight training will NOT stunt your growth. Just the opposite.
Weight training increases the production of HGH-Human Growth Hormone.
They also said smoking and drinking coffee would stunt your growth-I was smoking since I was 12, and drank coffee since I was 5. I am around 6 foot tall. I guess maybe I could've been seven feet or something...

I've got a stumpy annoying 'friend' who started weightlifting around my age. His parents aren't short.
just because your parents are short doesnt mean you are going to be short. same applies to being tall.
i dont think the is any evidence that weight lifting stunts your growth. if anyone knows if it does please explain.
Height is genetic to a large extent, so if both your parents are short odds are you are also. But there are always unexpected things that happen with genetics.
I doubt there is any evidence of this, but the thought is that if you have big and/or tight muscles then they apply more force to your growth plates and don't let them expand. Conversely, if you are flexible, you will be taller because your bones have an easier time stretching out your muscles. I doubt this is true, however, just doesn't seem like flexibility can make that much of a difference.
I have been promising myself to start weight lifting when i loose weight, but i cant lose weight...so i'm guna be a flabby mess for the rest of my life

It ain't really about losing weight, it's about losing fat. Bodybuilders usually want to gain weight, muscle weight, and you can lose using bodybuilding supplements.
