this is not weight lifting …
Well pink what do you think it is, tiddlewinks?
does this stuff screw up your growth spurt? im turning 14, and still short as. ahah
@tannynguyen
it does not.. its a myth
@tannynguyen It doesnt man its a myth. In fact it can actually help you grow taller since it helps strengthens the bones and the muslces which is important in growth.
@nwolfhead oh okay, thanks man
Hi is it possible if I get all the musclus but not get havey I do not want to have big body I want all the musclse but no mass on me ,is it possible if yes how do I do it left havey weight or light.
His voice is hypnotizing.
Everybody is born with the same number of muscles. Their size and to some extent their shape is determined by your genes. That said…if you exercise, how, contributes to how “strong” you are and how you “look”. Lifting progessively heavier weights over time (at least 9 months to many years) gets you that big beefy look.
Cont 1
If you don’t want to bulk up, then use lighter weights and do more reps. That will help shape, define and build strength without adding excessive mass. If it shows, meaning you get a ripped well define body depends on getting your body fat percentage down so the muscle outlines better show.
Con 2
One thing not clearly understood by science is how relative strength is determined. It is not only the size of your muscles, but how many muscle fibers trigger when you use them. This is a learned process and begins in the brain so someone with much less muscle mass can be stronger if you learn how to get the max from each effort.
Ok this probably sounds stupid but see if Im lifting 15 kg dumbells, 7.5 kg on each side, does it mean Im actually lifting 17kg? because I think the metal bar theyre attatched to is 2 kg…I think Ive just answered my own question tbh haha
No weight lifting doesn’t mess up growth at all. It actually helps out by giving you stronger muscles and bones as you’re growing. It all beneficiary. I started at 15, and I was about 5′8″ and 127 pounds. I’m 16, 6 feet tall and 160-170 pounds right now. It helps out the strength of your muscles and bones a lot.
@GnarlyCharlie2000 what you said needs to be qualified. While not common, growth plate damage can and does happen from IMPROPER weight training in some indviduals IF they don’t perform exercises correctly AND use excessive weight and/or over train while prepubescent or while still actively growing. While weight training does strengthen bone and develop muscle it can also cause harm.
Cont
Certain things like dead lifts, squats and excessively heavy leg press, even bench press should be avoided until you’re at least 20 and growth plates have or are nearly fused. If not, because teens have soften bones than fully grown adults, any excess stress can prematurerly cause growth plates to calcify. This isn’t a certain thing that will happen to everyone but no way to know who it will effect. So don’t risk it.
@willieofroanoke wtf?? stop fucking people mind up. you’re a pussy. It’s a myth the bodybuilding stunts growth. high school and college football players lift weights and are probably bigger and healthier than you
Arguing on the internet is like being in the Special Olympics: No matter who wins, youre still retarded.
@drewBrees… I don’t bother trying to reason with muscle head types that don’t have the necessary mental power to understand what I’m saying and typically think with their dicks because their feel inferior. What I said isn’t a myth, but prover over and over by medical researchers. If you had the smarts to know where to find such studies you’d know I’m right. Obviously you don’t.
@DrewBreesMVP9 When excessively lifting heavy weights, you can in fact damage your growth plates hindering your bones’ natural development. However, this can only happen when you are still growing (mostly kids in highschool). Also a lot of the time this happens is when you push yourself too hard, which is unhealthy for anybody anyways.

@willieofroanoke but with out squats how do we get even bigger
I think I found a new hobby. Goodbye porn, and hello weight training!
wait till you done growing (20-22) THEN do squats and deadlifts. Kids simply don’t listen. Naturally if they get serious about weight training they want to do what has the potential to do harm. Same with stupid dumb ass HS coaches almost forcing young teens to do excess bench press for sports training. They don’t give a shit about the kids they’re harming, only the school’s winning record and their job. Stupid!
i haver never squattted just do biceps triceps and core workout (abs) is that good im glad i am not hurting my leg joins.
@victormancini1 Nice analogy!
