Kids And Weight Training?


Recommended Posts

The single biggest downfall of young lifters is motivation......by all means get him in a gym learning how to do the basic lifts with correct form,but dont let him get too wrapped up in eating cleanly......let him be a kid and eat what he wants you say he,s a slim lad so his metabolism is probably high meaning he will burn it off quicker than he can put it on anyway so the likelihood is eating correctly will be counter productive in that if he doesnt see results he may lose his motivation for lifting.

Let his frame develop as nature intended then when its time to start putting the real work in as a young adult he will have a head start when it comes to lifting form,knowledge and motivation.

My lad goes to the gym with me and he is only 12. I just make sure the weights he uses arent too much for him. Before primary school i used to get him to do 10 press ups, his mother used to moan at me

Gnasher16 is the man to ask ... But done sensibly and correctly there is no problem .......
