Heavy Weight Lifting for Teens/Children is Bad!

Teens/Children Should Wait to Lift Weights

Many teens and children are interested in starting a weight training program. Whether they want to look better, feel better, or just get stronger, they want to start getting to the gym. Parents are also involved in this process. A large amount of parents want their kids to be the top child in an athletic event or competition, and they feel that lifting weights would help their children in these areas. Some parents feel if their child does not lift weights, their child will have limited opportunity for success in athletics. There are dangers in lifting heavy weights too young!

Lifting weights for TEENS (15-18) is fine! But lifting extremely heavy weights (power lifting) is NOT okay! For years, people have believed that power lifting is perfectly harmless activity for teens and children to participate in. This is not true! Studies have shown that kids who start power lifting at a young age have not grown to their full potential height. Lifting too heavy, too young, can cause a child's bones to bend. This causes the bones to grow incorrectly, or even stop growing all together!

Training and Exercises

If you, or your child, want your child to start getting stronger, recommended exercises would include ones that only involve their own body weight such as:

Push-ups
Pull-ups
Sit-ups
Calf raises
Squats
If you or your child insists on lifting weights, the child should be lifting extremely carefully. Here are steps on how to lift with minimal chance of injury:

Use as strict form as possible, if you are wobbling your body or jerking, you are using too much weight.
The weight is too much if you can only do 9-11 reps. Use weight where you can complete the exercise in the 17-20 rep range
If any part of your body starts hurting, immediately stop your workout and continue the next day.
When young adults are weight lifting it is recommended that they concentrate on compound exercises. A compound exercise is an exercise that uses multiple muscle groups, instead of isolating one particular muscle group. Compound exercises don't create as much muscle definition as isolation exercises, however; compound exercises help develop strength. Compound exercises are highly recommended at a child's start in weight lifting, it gives them a solid foundation for when they start heavy lifting and isolation exercises. Compound exercises include:

Squats (hamstrings, quads, lower back, glutes)
Bench Press (chest, triceps, shoulders)
Pull-ups (biceps, lats, upper back)
Deadlift (lower back, hamstrings, traps, shoulders
Overhead Press (shoulders, triceps)
