Is 14 okay for lifting weights?

[QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"]I would wait, i hear it does stump growth. Unless there is a reason. Dont do it to try to look tough and muscular, but if your doing it for a sport then I would say yes. But dont over do it.SIapshot

[QUOTE="tehbiggerboss"]Well, in the other topic about how to gain muscles people told me not to since im only 14. I turn 15 in September. Im 5'5 and aroudn 125 pounds and i dont think ive grown an inch for a year:(.

I'm 14 turning 15 late august, and I have been doing weights for two and a half years! I'm double the size of all my friends, and about three/four times stronger. Build up slowly, and then progress from ther.

Yeah well i'l the same age, 5'11 and 145 pounds, and I have been doing weights for over two years. It doesn't stunt your growth, coz when I started I was 5'4. You sound big anyway so you don't have anything to worry about, just build up slowly and take it easy for the first month or so.

Whatever old man.

u have two choices here, if u do choose to do weights at this age u will stunt your growth and will not grow much at all. it is just best to do resistance training rather than weights. resistance training includes push ups, sit ups, chin ups, elastic band reps and other things like than. i am in the same position as u with weights, i will be turning 15 soon but i found out t is to early to start and i hav alot of growing to do. i play basketball so height, jump and stregth is essential but u must look at other sources of training to increase your muscle stregth. if u do start weights now u are at risk of damaging your spine by putting to much pressure on it an then stunting your growth.htotheo

Im even more confused than i was before making this topic, slapshot seems to know a lot but is only backed by like 2 ppl, everyone doesnt seem to know as much as him but more ppl say it will stunt my growth....can anyone get a link from a credible source or something saying yes or no to stunting growth

also, what exercises should i begin with, and how many reps and sets should i do

thanks everyone who has helped me so far:) and keep helping me:D

i can see your very determend to start weights as soon as posible an your thought on answers which u like will be bias. start resistance excersises until u turn 16 or roughly around then. u will still get very big and if done consistantly and in a proper routine u can get very good results. 

i started 15 very lighty, 17 now and jacked (160-170 6 foot all mucle. (secret : whey protien...gnc)FlippenBricks

wha? 

i started working out 2 days ago. lol. i do 60 sit-ups, 20 and then take a 10 second break and repeat untill u do 60. and then after im dont with my sit-ups i do push-ups. right now i can only do 10 push-ups in a row because i am not strong in the arms at all.

 60 sit-ups, 10 push-ups

im 14 btw. is this good enough???

Are your eyes ok because again you must not of read what i wrote. I said I hear it stumps growth, did I say personally "yes it does"? No I didnt actually, but ive had people who lifted and a doctor say it can stump your growth. Dont put words in my mouth.

Normal, healthy, weight training is a great thing. Using supplements at your age is a different story. Stick to the weights and do it naturally (untill you're older). Don't listen to rumors about lifting weights, most of the posters in this thread who said "stunt your growth" never touched the iron.
