Anyone Ever Train A 13 Year Old.

[anonynmous39596706]

A woman at the gym wants me to train her 13 year old son. More of a big brother type thing. Her husband was killed in an accident and she wants to keep him motivated. I just don't want to give the kid any more problems from working out wrong. I think he is a little young for gear so I will keep him natty for at least another year(<--that's a joke). I know the kid needs time with someone who shows interest in him more then anything, but if he is going to put the time in it might as well be worth while. Is there dangers that should be avoided? I don't want him to deform his growing body in any way.

As long as the form is good he won't harm himself n

Thanks Doc, I was worried about things like growth plates and cartilage. I am going to start him off with full flexing on the contraction and when his mom isn't looking, up the weight. With everything that has happened she is over protective and makes him go super light.

What a great opportunity for the both of you man. I feel like he can learn so much from training that will carry over into life lessons. I would be sure to teach him that form is #1, weight being lifted is not important. That strength will come. I also feel it is important he be taught that his strength is not a tool to be exploited in the form of bullying other children.
Also I feel the discipline that comes along with this lifestyle is a huge advantage when it comes to life situations across the board. Working out will truly teach him that hard work, time , effort and discipline will pay off and it will do so by offering tangible, measurable results. Kind of you get out of something what you put into it.
As far as physical concerns as long as form is emphasized I do not feel there are any concerns. Have fun man!

Stick him on a program based around squats, deads, bench, OHP, rows, pullups, chin-ups, dips, etc. Stick to basic compound lifts and keep the isolation work to a minimum. Make sure the form stays good and take your time upping the weights. He's starting earlier than most and will reap the benefits for years to come.

Make sure to also keep him motivated as well. Vary the routines each time.

Solid advice fellas! I started lifting with the basics when I was 14 to maintain strength while cutting weight during wrestling season and fell in love with bodybuilding. I built up great muscle memory that allowed me to be an easy gainer later on in high school and my college years.

I used to help train people in hs who were young around that age and I'd have them stick to ALL compound lifts and hit them frequently and it always worked very well. Form is key and their egos have to be left at the door.

Right here, Rocco. Start building that foundation.

Got to keep my levels low. The other day the two old ladies and the fat chick on the tread mill were looking good.

Took both my teenage boys to the gym when they were 13. Learning good habits and all my tricks at an early age[emoji123]

Here is me during wrestling season and a few months solid on a weight training program when I was 14 years old. Jr. High school (8th grade)... lol... I wrestled 105lb class and was going through a growth spurt. Worst fucking year ever. And the other pic is when I was in 11th grade (Jr. In high school).. Shows you the big difference two years of weights can do to a young bastard. I was 50 lbs. heavier.

I started weight training at 8yo, best thing for me was simply learning new things. For instance, i had no idea that muscles got smaller when you flexed them. Learning how to isolate a single muscle group and what each muscles purpose is, plus because of the gains i was always asked to flex my arms in grade 5 and 6 hahah.
I would say just keep the training simple, only use bodyweight and dumbells. Keep the reps around 15 and the sets at 4
IME avoid heavy squats! I was 6 foot exactly in grade 10 then i started heavy squatting and leg press, it made me shorter by about an inch.
Stick to bodyweight and dumbbells for legs, simple stuff too, lunges, or those wall squat holds.
Train the shit out of his abs too! I've never had any problems with my back and my posture is perfect because i trained abs and lower back every night! Plus its great for the girls!
I would just do say 50 x 2 ab crunches with my feet pinned under my bed and then laying back extensions, where you just say down and try to raise your knees and chest off the floor without using your hands.
