Contrary to popular belief, lifting weights while you are still growing does not stunt growth. It was believed that breaking a bone could damage the ends of the bones that are still growing, but this is not the case. Strength training has only benefits, if done correctly, whether you are young or old.

no

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.

Is it ok to lift weights at 13 years olds i am a 13yr old boy i am 5 foot 4 and i weigh 115 and i was wondering if it would stunt my growth if i starting to lift weights?
It actually is okay to lift weights at your age. I am a 14 year old girl and i bench press a bunch of weights and i have not stunted my growth. Guys are mad to lift weights I'm not suppose to lift weights but i am strong enough to do it. The answer to you is yes.
How fast should you lift weights?
It don't matter how fast you list the weights, it all depends on how much pounds the weights are, and how often you lift them. But I wouldnt lift them to fast, because you might pull a muscle.
Do you get smaller by lifting weights?
It depends on your weight and fitness level. For example, you may become smaller by losing fat around the muscles that you are losing to lift weights. But if you are already thin, depending on how much you lift, you muscle tone will either stay the same, or your muscles will get bigger.
