Does Lifting Weight Stop making you grow?

[Ahmad619]

I want to no if lifting weight stops making u grow, im 14 years old and i lift 15lbs with each hand about 100 reps, is that bad and would it stop making me grow?

 

[Gfreak]

[KnuckleSangwich]

It gets worse....

Well its my first time lifting 15lbs and what do u mean it gets worse?

The fact that you are lifting 15 lb 100 times is bad because it shows a lack of knowledge about lifting but it won't stop you from growing.

What are your goals? If you want to get bigger and stronger I suggest that you take a look through the FAQ. Pick a routine from the Beginner/Intermediate routines thread (which is linked in the FAQ) and come back with more specific questions.

Depends on the gym. Going to a typical fitness gym will be a waste of time and will teach him the wrong things. However, if he has a good powerlifting or Olympic lifting gym near him then he should check that out.

The easy thing to do right now is read the FAQ.

It's difficult to learn proper lifting form without any kind of instruction.

a fitness gym is a whole lot worse than learning by yourself. many myths still persist to this day, for instance squatting hurts the knees ! that little diddy is still believed.

If you're talking Olympic lifts then I would agree, it can be done but a coach is a huge help. If you're talking about squat, deadlift, bench and overhead press then I disagree, you can learn them very well with some research and a video camera. You will find that a lot of people on those forum are self-taught and have solid form.

This.

All you need is patience, lack of an ego, an explanation on how to perform the lift, videos of yourself performing said lift, comparing your lifts with other lifters exhibiting proper form, and so on. Or even easier, just posting your video online and getting tips.

Yes, lifting is bad. It will stunt your growth, ruin your back and knees, and is just generally terrible.

Stop lifting RIGHT NOW.
