MikeCFT answered Tuesday March 28 2006, 3:26 pm: NO it absolutely does not. Don't listen to people who say that because most of them haven't lifted a weight in their lives. In fact- with the body's systems (endocrine in particular) working at that level- it actually promotes growth. The only thing that will cause a close of the growth plates is the use of anabolic steroids. [ MikeCFT's advice column | Ask MikeCFT A Question ]
