[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS (15) has started weight training as part of his sports team practices and he does additional work at home. I was telling a friend this and they said that teens who haven’t fully grown shouldn’t be doing lots of weight training until they are done growing, that it messes up the growth plates and stunts growth. Looking online, I don’t see much research to support this but it does seem to be something that people think. Have you heard this/found it to be true/avoided it if you anticipate child still has more to grow? [/quote] Consider doing a routine with more reps & lighter weights rather than trying to max out weight lifted. Age 13 or 14 is probably the youngest age to start weight training.[/quote]
