No, but if you think about it?, I'm assuming you weigh more now then you did in high school?, and the more weight you gain the more you'll have the tendecy to slump over, but I wouldn't think you would really shrink?

Hey FB -
16 yrs ago I measured out at 5'11" too - now I'm a little under 5'10" (as of last November) - I'm pretty sure it's not the lifting, just gravity - I think everybody loses some ht as they age - but, in compensation, I'm also 50+ lbs bigger than I was then and in every way happier for the gains. I know that sqts are supposed to compress your vertebrae (so maybe that's a factor) - but I'd never give em up!! Rather be a 5'8" monster in another 15 yrs than hold on to the height!! LOLLL

Lee Priest used to be 6'5", so I guess you can shrink.....lol

I personally haven't noticed anything, but I know a few people that have. What the factors are, I don't know. At 6'4, I wouldn't mind shrinking a little.

When I first started weight lifting I did alot of flat bench presses and front delt moves and did not train my rear delts and Ihave rounded shoulders. Working out of it is a pain in the ass but it does restore around 1 inch in height

I started lifting at 12 and the dirt at 18 and have grown taller ever since then so I would say no! But over time everyone shrinks I have read that supplementing calcium will slow this process but I assume if your a serious bb you already do that
