I am guessing that you want to get really visible muscles. The main thing with that isn't as much about the size of the muscles, but to have as little fat as possible between the muscles and the skin. The downside to that is that we are meant to have some fat there. It's our padding, our insulation and our energy reserve. Losing that weakens our immune system and saps our energy levels - not a good thing.
no
People do not stop growing by lifting weights. It was believed that weight lifting damaged the growth plates and stunted growth. It CAN happen, but only with very heavy weights, such as sets of 3-5 reps. They say no one should do HEAVY weights until they are 18, or fully grown.
if you deadlift/squat with terrible technique then you can mess something up inside the spine, and decrease growth hormones produced But that's very unlikely to happen Lifting weights with proper technique does not affect growth
because lifting can cause growth to stop in your bone structure
Yes and quite badly
No, it's just a myth.
Lifting weights as a preteen can be very dangerous.Since it can lead to issues in growth patterns. It is suggested to stick to machines as a young teen.
Lifting 40 pounds at the age of 13 can affect your growth. It can cause a persons muscles to become weakened later on. The age of 13 is too young to be lifting heavy weights.
Lifting weights and doing cardio will never stop your growth it will actually help it. The hormone (GH) or Growth Hormone is produced from lifting weights because you are triggering the pituitary gland to produce the hormone from the exercise. Same goes with cardio. working out in the gym or running will not stunt your growth.
There is no scientific evidence that lifting weights can reduce your growth rate.
No, lifting will not stunt your growth as the myth grows. But at such a young age you need supervision, and make sure you do it correctly. There are many benefits of weight training, even at this age.
No, lifting will not stunt your growth as the myth grows. Just make sure you do it correctly, and get supervision at first. There are too many benefits of lifting to not do it when young.
