Hobbit, stop spreading lies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bodybuilding will not stunt your growth unless you have improper form.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Take a quick tour around the Teen Bodybuilding forum, there's 14-15 year old kids who've been working out for 2+ years, and they're mostly 5'10" and above, weighing about 180+ lbs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There's even a 13 year old kid who's like 5'3" and is pretty ripped.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bodybuilding isn't for posers, you bleedy imbecile. Bodybuilding is about the image. In a bodybuilding competition you don't see them lifting any weights do you, it's about how you look to the judges.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You want to lift heavy, do powerlifting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Btw, again, if you want strength, do high weight, low reps. That's why Rippetoes and 5x5 only makes you do 5 reps per set, but increase the weight it every workout.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Doing low weight, high reps, at most gives you muscular endurance.

to all the people who r talking about not growing, shame on u

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

bodybuilding is diffrent thing as powerlifting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

yes there are some cases in which ur growth stops because of heavy weights in moves such as squat/deadlift

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if he starts carefully with pullups/pushups/dumbbell curls with the right technique, he will not stop growing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

besides, how would u know if you had grown more if u hadnt started heavy weightlifting? sure genes have something to do it with but sometimes, its already decided for u

[T-Roach]

 

 

 

 

Pushing your muscles to the brink of exhaustion so you cant lift em, then doing it all over again the next day :D

 

 

 

Doing it every day can be dangerous...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

not necessarily dangerous but stupid as hell.

[T-Roach]

cellu beat me to it :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

actually he was way b4 me :D

 

 

 

but i just couldnt resist replying without reading xD

[Tigra00]

There are lots of theories about body building stunting your growth...I personally wouldn't risk it and just start when you're grown enough anyways...'Round 16 or something.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You're going to feel aweful stupid if it turns out to be true for you and you're 5'2" with huge muscles. Huge muscles don't really look too great to your girlfriend when she is taller than you. :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd normally dismiss it as BS, but I do know a guy that started body building when we were in like 7th grade and he never got over 5'4". He looks pretty ridiculous today...Large muscles...Tiny body...Looks kinda like a buff midget. :P

[assassin_696]

Oh yeah, a question i've been meaning to ask.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is going for a swim (10-20 lengths breastroke) after a workout a sensible idea? I want to keep up my swimming and it's more convenient to do it after a workout, but I don't want to negate all the work I put in in the gym by not resting them directly after or whatever.

[T-Roach]

might want to do ur swimming on cardio days, or on days when u have a light workout

20 lengths is like 5 mins work, im sure i wont do any harm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and you guys were right soz bout the info, he used to do weightlifting, but still, do you reall wana chance it?

[rodl]

My real life friend started bodybuilding when he was about 12, he has huge muscles but he is very small. He still hopes he will grow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Conclusion based on a fact: Bodybuilding at young ages *does* stop you from growing in height.

Lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Conclusion based on ONE fact.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What about all the countless 6 feet tall giants who started bodybuilding at 12-13?

[T-Roach]

yes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and how can u know that he would have still grown if he hadnt started bodybuilding? :^o

[rodl]

yes

And how can you know if a person with down syndrome isn't a genius?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You just know.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And how can you know if a person who was bodybuilding since 12 didn't grow because he bodybuilded since the young age?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You just know.

He said "countless".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Go on, I'm waiting.

Doesn't matter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

why does he need 10+ cases of that for it to be 'true' but you only need 1 to 'prove' bodybuilding makes you stop growing?

Because he said there are countless 6 feet tall giants who started bodybuilding at 12-13. I suppose picking 10 out of those countless ones wouldn't be hard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And yes it DOES matter.

[Nadril]

And again, you some how claimed that bodybuilding will stunt your growth because you know 1 short kid who body builded at a young age.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even if you didn't say it obviously you must mean it will effect mostly everyone who bodybuilds, aka, 'countless' people.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So again, why do you not need a lot of examples to 'prove your point' but he does?

I didn't say how countless bodybuilders are small, but he said how there are countless bodybuilders who are over 6 feet tall. I want to see 10 of those countless bodybuilders and if what he said is true, then finding 10 bodybuilders over 6 feet tall is not hard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't alter what I said to what you want me to say so you can accuse or flame me in some way please.

:wall:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Listen to what i'm saying carefully and answer each of these, please.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- You have stated that bodybuilding stunts your growth, correct?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- You have given 1 example and, because of this, belive it to be true.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Since you want proof from this guy for 'tall' body builders you must still be under the asumption that people who bodybuild at a young age will be short, correct?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why, then, I ask you do you somehow think that to weigh against your 1 example he must have at least 10.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You are chalanging his comment and you are indeed against it and belive the opposite of what he is sayng. So you belive that 'countless bodybuilders are (short)' correct?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If by any chance you do not actualy belive that then why bother to ask for proof?

Because for every one time he's correct about this, there are 10 times when he is not correct.
