Lifting weights at a young age such as in your early teens can be a concern for teens as well as their parents. You wonder if it is safe and many wonder if lifting weights can stunt a young person's growth. So can lifting weights at a young age stunt growth? The short answer is no. It is another myth. Teens can receive the same benefits as adults by incorporating weight training into their lifestyle. However, just as with adults, teens need the proper guidance when it comes to strength training.
A teen should lift weights with parental supervision as well as looking into entry level programs created specifically for young adults.
