Yeah, source? I lifted extensively in my youth, I still hold records. My brothers are both over 6'5 I'm 5'8 neither one of them was any where near as strong as me. They had a different mother. You cannot increase height through lifting.

Exercise when young can increase your height, but only up to your genetic limits.

I've heard the opposite. Lifting before puberty will reduce growth.

It seems plausible that you reached your genetic limits, especially considering you only share about half of the same genetic material.
