Answer:
Nah. That's an old wives's tale. Of course, if you are still in your teens, there are some precautions to take:http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/bbinfo.p...

Yes it is true. My uncle was 5'10'' at 20 years old and lifted for 10 years, when he reached 30, he was only 5 feet tall.. thats like a loss of an inch a year...
