Pretty sure the stunt growth thing is a myth.

I'm absolutely positive that it's not a myth.

Not the greatest link, but I don't feel like going through more sites now.

Terrible article/blog post. Not scientific at all. He used a couple of celebrity examples. Proves nothing. i could just as easily point out that the tarzan kid is now only 5 foot 1. Wouldn't prove anything. I've done the research, and lifting before the age of 13 or 14 will seriously impede your growth. For 14 year olds, its another matter.
