There is no such thing that if if you do over shoulder exercise your height won't increase.
THAT IS NOT A FACT.
Become more knowledgeable everyday about everything and spread it.
My advice is you can not only do dumbells but you should be doing every workout possible.
Set a goal for gym, and run for it you can achieve anything.
Health Tips
research about nutrition and types of workout you should be doing.
