As a personal trainer who trains and works with teens, this video is really helpful. Thanks Jeff. I will be sharing this with my clients.

Been training consistently since 14 was 5ft7 at 112 lbs now 25 at 6ft4 225 lbs, if you’re young and worried about stunting your growth don’t be!. Just listen to this guy he knows what he’s talking about, focus on form and technique and very importantly don’t worry about the weight or what others are lifting around you that’ll increase in time as you progress just work from where you’re at. Working out is a lifestyle not a chore your goals aren’t going to be met over night but everyday you can take a step in the right direction to be a better you in every way mind and body. Get those gains and do it the right way.💪🏼

Oh lord this is going to be a chain of replies

Jeff I was told this as a kid and got asked this queation myself all the time as a doctor. Just earlier this week I bought the "Load to Explode" baseball program you co-authored years ago. I bought it for my school age son to help his hitting and thought the hitting drills would be all I could use with him for now (he's 8). I was shying away from the resistance training portions, but after this I may try some of the weighted exercises with him with 1 lb dumbells. He actually wants to try lifting weights because he sees me doing it so maybe I'll give it a shot. He's already tried exercises with bands and tubing and likes them. Thanks Jeff!

Nice, clear and scientific video. Thank you for clearing my doubts about this.

@Athlean-X Two things that I slightly disagree with in a scientific context. (warning: small thesis ahead) 1. There certainly is some degree of compression stress in a lot of lifts (example 5 of your 'injuries list') and while this may mot directly cause injury when lifting responsably it could be risky to let young adolescents (10-13 years old) lift heavy (which you mentioned), but besides not using too heavy loads at that age, lifting too often (for example daily training sessions) with inadequate recovery can indeed cause compression issues in the long term. I am aware that you preach this in many of your other videos (love your channel) but I think it is an important part of the debate in this problem that could have been addressed in this video as well. It also leads to my second point. 2. Frequent high intensity training at a young age can indeed stunt growth, regardless of which sport is being practiced, due to the body experiencing stress conditions while training. However, scientific studies have shown that the body will 'catch up on the delayed growth potential' once the stress conditions disappear for a time, which once again circles back to adequate recovery time. This is however an extreme situation which in practice is only seen in adolescents that sport on an elite level (for example potential Olympic gymnasts) who train well over 15 hours a week. Once again, I love your channel and I think that you make great content, but I recently did a research project for my study (human and animal health biology at Wageningen University) in relation to optimal training an nutrition for elite adolescent swimmers, and these two things stood out to me as incomplete. If anyone is curious about my sources, just reply and I'll try to find them back asap and put them up in a reaction. Bonus addition: to a very small degree, lifting weights during adolescence can actually benefit growth as well, if done properly, due to the extra growth hormone produced to build up the muscles. This is however a very minute advantage.

Great to hear your take on this Jeff, just today again I heard from another parent that I should watch out so that my daughter's growth is not disrupted because she's training gymnastics. Even though the gym is full of gymnasts with no indication of growth issues on any of them. Just awesome strength and flexibility

Yes! Absolutely! Thank you thank you. My son is 12 and has Down syndrome. He’s stubborn so we are making sure he develops the muscle memory of correct form with the bar and barbells so we can then add weight later to build strength (he is a Special Olympic swimming athlete and needs upper body strength in the water) People with DS are typically overweight, So being comfortable and proficient in the gym is a life benefit to all of us. I have people ALL the time telling me I will hurt him (with less than 5lbs?). So thank you for this video. We will keep pushing on!!!!! Thanks for the encouragement and all you do!

Me: *enters the gym* Jeff: You're doing it wrong!

I knew though that weightlifting doesn’t stunt height growth, but a little of a doubt remained in the back of my mind every time as i do lift and got a pretty good physique at 17 but not very tall. Now Jeff said it , so its crystal clear that lifting doesn’t stunt growth! LOV U JEFF!

Ok come over to my channel

My mom was 5'1 and my dad was 5'6. I'm 6'2 both family sides were fairly short. But I think that because both my parents families had lived through tough times with hardly any food to eat it stunted their growth. I was fed very well, I achieved full height by the time I was 14 years old and the other kids always wondered why I looked jacked for my age even though I never worked out technically. I had hard jobs with lots of hard labour and exercised often enough (biking, basketball etc.) which probably contributed to it. I think what stunts a persons growth other than outside factors like defects or injury would be a lack of eating and physical stimulation. If you don't eat enough it spends most of that trying to keep itself alive rather than building anything and if you eat just enough to sustain your current activities as a child you won't really grow much. Of course genetics will have a huge effect on your overall structure but usually you have to have some sort of deficiency or defect to really get a noticeable difference. At least in my experiences the smaller people that think they eat a lot really don't at all but are convinced they are eating a lot but in fact are eating like a bird.

As always the man with the clear info sans BS. Thanks Jeff!

2 things: Thanks for answering a question I have been wandering for a while now and also, thanks for explaining why it doesnt stunt growth.

I was like "Jesse forgot the intro clip/music!" But then the lollypop guild arrived and I was like "Oh, it's one of those intros!"

I lifted a lot from ages 12-18 and found gaining muscle pretty easy. I'm taller than both my parents, and those teenage muscles have stayed with me over the years, even though I don't lift nearly as much now.

Jeff has so many videos and I don't know what to watch first since I'm just starting to go to the gym

Me: **exists** My gainz: _I don't feel so good_

You’re describing Salter-Harris fractures. They can hinder the growth plates (essentially by scarring the area which stops those cells from responding the the same stimuli to grow). But those fractures typically don’t cause as much problem as people once thought. I’m a dual board certified physician (Internal Med and Pediatrics) and I have 4 kids. I’ve paid attention to research regarding growth “stunting” and growth stimulation. Bottom line is as long as the resistance training you’re child (or you) are doing is done safely (so as to prevent injury) then there is no risk to stunting growth. But there is also no added height by resistance training. Your end adult height is mostly determined by genetic factors (assuming there are no serious environmental factors like nutrient deficiencies - rickets etc.) But the benefit of resistance training at a young age are tremendous. Stimulating muscle growth at a young age helps to support body weight and prevent long term pain and injury down the road. And most importantly- keeping kids lean prevents diabetes type 2, hypertension, sleep apnea, coronary artery disease, and on and on. When an adult gets fat their fat cells swell up (adipose tissue). When kids get fat they gain MORE fat cells (more adipose cells) which makes the potential for obesity unbelievably higher than a previously lean adult who gets fat. So... from a doctor and father I’m telling you to get your kids exercising. Let them see you work out. Let them hear you grunt. And make that normal to them. That way they will grow up with exercise as a norm. Just my 2 cents

My dad:Son Don’t Lift weights it stunts growth Me:dad my school bag is heavier then the weights

I promise it doesn't stop growth, I got a 14 year old that is 6'7" tall and been lifting for 2 years. His growth hasn't been affected negatively at all. If anything, all the jump training and lifting has encouraged his body to grow more.

THANK YOU JEFF THIS CAME AT A PERFECT TIME I JUST STARTED TAKING MY SON TO THE GYM WITH ME AND HE IS 12 HIS MOTHER SAYS HE IS TOO YOUNG BUT HE REALLY IS INTERESTED IN TRAINING SO I JUST STARTED TAKING HIM AND HE REALLY ENJOYS IT SO THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION

Strength training actually helped aid my growth. over the last 10 months I have focused a lot on back- strenghtening exercises, mostly thanks to you. I've always had terrible posture but now I've actually gained about an inch on my height and am now 6'3''. Also I can walk for more than 15 minutes without having to sit down from back pain:)

Liked the video, along with your clarifications as always. One curiosity however: do you think that maybe its the "Growth Hormone" itself that may be overlooked when it comes to it's specificnrole in the body, training, and stunned growth?? It'd be nice to get your thoughtd on this.

I really really appreciate this. I’m 5 ft tall and I am 17. You’re right about me excelling. I’ve never lost a weightlifting season competition. Matter of fact, I’m on my way to breaking records this year. My parents still won’t believe me tho even if I showed this lmao

To the 8 yo: if you wanna get big as an adult, do sprinting, anaerobic training and other intense activities. You’re at the age when you can activate the ACTN-3 gene for speed and strength which developes fast twitch muscle fibres needed for muscle growth. You may not grow now, but you increase your potential in muscle growth and athleticism after you hit puberty. And also eat like lion, fast twitch muscle fibres need much more energy than slow muscle fibres, so your body will not change slow muscle fibres into fast twitch muscle fibres if you don’t give it enough nutritions.

@@cowboy4378 The average age for puberty to begin is 11 for females and 12 for males. Some people start at 8.. some. But let's not forget the fact that stressing your body out too much can stunt growth, and being as young as 8 and working out is a great way to stress your body.

Thanks! This was actually very helpful and I learned something new

Great video as always Jeff. Do you have advice for older men in our 60's who have lost unwanted fats and are now lean and ready to train, who have gotten our health together and want to up our testosterone levels?

I saw you didn't mention any of the over-use injuries to the growth plates - apophysitis/osteochondrosis, such as Osgood-Schlatter's, Sever's (which I am now sure I had growing up; never was seen by a doctor for it), etc. I learned in medical school that most of these are simply due to lots of repetitive stress, such as jumping, where the involved tendon is putting a lot of mechanical stress on the bone that can temporarily disrupt the blood supply to the physis. I don't even remember if I saw a single case of any of these in any of my pediatric patients during my brief medical career as a podiatrist. Do you happen to know if lifting weights is in any way associated with increased incidents of any of these physeal "diseases". I'm going to guess "no", simply because adolescents that lift weights aren't going to be doing it at the frequency required, vs. prolonged and daily jumping/running/throwing/etc. mechanical stresses that young athletes would be doing. I guess I'm mostly curious if any actual studies have been done on this particular issue (which, again, I'm guessing NO, making it super-easy to pass bullshit ideas along as some sort of fact). Thanks for putting these science-based videos out there, Jeff, and working to dispel myths and other disinformation that is so easily spread in the internet age.

Look forward to the video on RECOVERY and RECOVERY DURATION that you speak about at the beginning

Jeff your the man, you have the answer to every question

He explained the Salter harris classification of growth plate fracture.....!!! He actually read through orthopaedic material before making the video....!!! Great guy

Been lifting since I was 17, I’m 21 now I grew from 5’9 to 5’10 1/2 (if you want to be specific) I grew that extra inch when I was doing like Olympic type lifts and explosive lifts and have grown a little too since just doing regular functional fitness with bodybuilding lifts. I’m not sure if the explosive lifts helped me grow taller but I believe that helped a bunch.

That intro was worth the price of admission in itself!!!😂😂

One thing I love about him he gets right in it. Respect sir

It all depends on the type of weightlifting you do at a young age. My growth plates closed at age 16, because I was lifting 720lbs for three sets of 20. I had X-rays done and my doc said that the constant pressure cause my growth plates to close.
