Do you get taller by weight lifting?

Answer 1

As in trigger a growing phase? No it will not. It will however improve posture since the extra baggage isn't weighing down on the spine. Also keep in mind that the smaller you are horizontally, the bigger you look vertically; so if you shed some lbs, it will create the illusion of being slim and tall.

Tips:

1. Do not slouch while standing and sitting; frequent compression on the spine will gradually shape your spinal column in such a way that it may result in height LOSS.

2. For those who are still growing, sleep with thin or no pillows; the flatter you are, the easier it is for the spine to extend. Try your best to stay on your back (wearing ankle weights helps prevent tossing and turning). Sleeping on your side creates pressure that compresses the spine and you may end up slightly leaning for a portion of the day.

3. Swimming, yoga and palates emphasizes extension of the spine. Combine this with a good diet and you should gain a noticeable amount of height.
