Growth stunt by using barbell on shoulders?

[oswinrods]

If i do an exercise, say the 'Back Squat', with a barbell on my shoulders (behind my neck), will it affect my growth rate (in terms of height)?

(an example of such an activity)

Interesting question but the answer is no.

Thanks for the reply
So that means for a 'Barbell Shoulder Press' too my growth will not stunt correct?

No exercise will stunt your growth, it only makes you stronger and healthier.
