Lifting Weights STUNTS Growth (THE TRUTH!!)

- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
- Have you been told that lifting weights will stunt your growth if you start at too early of an age? In this video, I’m going to dig into the science of workout stress and see what impact it plays on developing bones and ultimately the height of the person lifting the weights. Is there a real cause for concern or is this something that can be almost completely ignored when it comes to your exercise plans.

Many pediatricians and parents have either been told, or told someone themselves, that lifting weights before puberty is a bad thing due to the potential damage it can place on the long bones of the body and the growth plates. When these growth plates are affected negatively, the continued growth of these bones is stunted and height increases halt.
This needs some investigation. Mostly, this needs to be looked at more because of how perpetuated this advice is. That said, we have to see where this even originated. Most of these concerns come from the correlations that are made between many of the highest profile Olympic and Power lifters that are extremely short in stature. The same can be said for muscular gymnasts who are also very small in height.
But before any conclusions can be jumped to you have to ask yourself the age old chicken and the egg question. That is, are these people short because of their participation in lifting weight at an early age that potentially led to damage to their growth plates or are they competing at the highest level of their sport because inadvertently being short was something that contributed to them being the best at what they do.
I will tell you one hundred percent it is the latter. When you are shorter, the mechanical leverages are improved significantly on lifts like the bench press and squat that allow you to be relatively much stronger than someone with longer limbs. Not only that, the distance the bar has to travel in space are minimized greatly compared to someone who is significantly taller. The combination of these two things makes it easier for someone shorter to excel and therefore rise to the level of public prominence that is going to skew the perception of weightlifting causing it’s practicioners to be short.
The truth is the growth plates at the ends of the tibia, femur and humerus are not going to be impacted by the forces present in normal, controlled weightlifting. In no way does the squat, bench press or deadlift for example provide the type of forces and stresses to the bones that leads to growth plate injuries. These are almost always incurred by asymmetrical distorted forces to the bones that comes from falls or accidents on skateboards, snowboarding or even contact sports like football and basketball.
In fact, weightlifting provides benefits to developing adolescents who will get stronger bones and joints from learning the proper way to move a bar at an early age and start adding to that over time. The best thing a young adolescent can do is learn the basic movement patterns and then be ready to take advantage of the hormonal benefits that come when they reach puberty.

Bad eating habits, no workout or poor workout, bad sleeping habits, uncontrollable anxiety, no meditation, no reading or poor reading (bad quality books), poor teeth brushing technique, etc, etc. So...

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.💪🏼
at what age did you get a growth spurt?
Pipon At around 17-18 I shot up from 5ft10 to 6ft then slowly creeped up in height until I was 22.
Im 14 and 5ft7 and started gym a month ago and im scared itll affect my height
How do I know im doing the right form and technique??
@@aryandiangelo139same im 14 and 5’7’. i started 3 months ago and I’ve still grown half an inch since then so i think you’re good. just do some more research if you are really concerned

My dad:Son Don’t Lift weights it stunts growth
Me:dad my school bag is heavier then the weights
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!
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!
I started lifting when I was 14 and I almost stopped growing from that point forward. People made me think that lifting was the problem (even though I researched it).
@1Me I can't tell if you are joking or you are just stupid.
@@amogh2864 nah he's joking lmao
Yeah sort of man im 19 now but i still dont go real heavy on the squats and other lifts that can compress your spine and legs... should still train them but dont need to load up ridiculous shit cause jeff might be wrong and it might fuck with your height. Height is permanent muscle mass is not.
@@rws999 this 💯
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!
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
Clear, precise and extremely helpful information, thanks again Jeff!
Thanks Jeff this was very critically useful and helpful video.
@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.
Then why are Eddie hall and Brian shaw so y’all
@@roccoy5982 because they took an arrow to the knee
@@blackmamba5133 Yeah sure. Don't overtrain, don't do ego lifting, just use some common sense in terms of safety precautions and you should be just fine. I started training when I was 12 and I've never experienced any problems. I'm actually still the tallest person in my family, so I wouldn't worry too much

@@husaanshabendri4331 you too!
Oh lord this is going to be a chain of replies
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
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?
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.
Hey Jeff, will you make a video about specific exercises to do, and what not to do, for someone with a shoulder subluxation? It would be much appreciated.
Face pull
Ok come over to my channel
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.
thats anecdotical evidence but still, good for you.

@@Potato-ko3oc nvm I'll just google it
@@Potato-ko3oc ah i see now
@@Potato-ko3oc Anecdotal evidence is evidence based only on personal observation, collected in a casual or non-systematic manner.
As always the man with the clear info sans BS. Thanks Jeff!
Jeff I’m a huge fan of yours and you have helped me out loads, but you should continue the bigger in 28 days series and do bigger biceps and bigger calves in 28 days
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.
FINALLY A VIDEO TO SETTLE THIS ARGUMENT ONCE AND FOR ALL
So whats the answer
We are in the endgame now.
Kakugen its in the video
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.
Thanks! This was actually very helpful and I learned something new
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:)
You probably had some sort of scoliosis and fixed it by back training causing the spine to become straight.
How old are you ?
@@harshachauhan9360 I was either 16 or 17 when I wrote this comment
5:40 Jeff just crushed the motivation of all the 8 year olds watching this 😂
Lol
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.
Why would you watch this if you are 8? Go watch some cartoons.
@@waluigi3515 not working out before puberty killed my gains
@@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.
Thank you so much I was actually getting worried because I just started working out, so thank you 👍
Finally i was waiting for this video. Great video jeff
Me: **exists**
My gainz: _I don't feel so good_
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.

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.

@@jaggeriscoughmedicine I am also spiteful of my parents cursing me with 6 ft 1 height at 16.
What height were you at 16 years?
I'm 5'9 at 33
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.
Whattttttt How tall are you also That Is a ridiculous Amount of weight, Assuming You were squating
@@connorbetancourt5605 I am 5’10” luckily. I was not squatting. I was doing incline leg press. 3-5 sets of 20 reps
@@bigtsfitness4510 Wow I can Barely Bench Press 100
Is it possible that you had any enhancements? There is no way you can squat 720 lbs naturally
@@se-ku3op leg pressing 720 doesn't mean he can squat anything near that
Honestly extremely helpful, thank you!!
Great video Jeff. You’re the man!
I am (24) years old,my hight (5.5 feet) , my weight (70 kg or 154 lbs)
Almost an oompa loompa
So I am significantly smaller and weaker than everyone else, I've been working out on my own for a bit longer than a year, relying mostly on your videos and recently I've been seeing significant changes to my muscle size, weight, appetite, posture, and overall strength and for that thank you very much Jeff ,thanks to you I've become more confident in my skin even though being short stil bugs me
Ps I'm sorry if there are any grammar or spelling mistakes ,English is not my first language

Agadmator?
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.
These intros are killing me :D Jesse is awesome!
