Does weight training for a 14 years old will stunt his growth. Is it harmful to do weight lifting at such an early age? Thanx

No it don't . I know lots of people in middle school that lifted weight and they grew 6 inches in high school . Estrogen stunts growth that's it

Your short because all them plastic water bottles you drink out of
Bodyweight exercises are the best thing for youth, hands down!! Lots of reps, take advantage of the reps when they are still building muscle fiber at that age. Nothing beats push-ups, pull-ups , sit-ups and dips

Estrogen stunts growth? Since when? We have an aromatase enzyme for a reason, male bodies need estrogen to function.. I don't think young teens could lift heavy enough to effect growth anyway.

^ estrogen closes growth plates . Injecting testosterone without an aromatase inhibited would do it.

No it does not stunt your growth... 14 is a good age for you to start IMO... By the time your 18 if you lift consistently you will have a great physique. Being consistent is the only way your going to get results. Pick a plan and a diet and stick to it. It takes time so you have to be patient and don't quit if you don't get results as fast as you want..Focus on getting stronger now, maybe try a 5x5 routine by Bill Star

Check out this link.. Start doing a lot of research on different routines and diets.. Having knowledge on diet and training is the best tool you can have in this game.

This is true, I have done routines with only bodyweight exercises and got great results. At your age I think it will be best for you as well to be honest.. All you need is a pull up and dip bar, you can get a combo for 1 or 200 dollars, I got mine for 150. Push ups, pull ups and dips are great and it works your full body. When you get good at bodyweight moves and can do a decent number of pull ups and dips then you can add weight training. It will take some time before you will be able to do sets of ten on the pull ups and dips but when you do get there you will be strong as hell. Start by doing the routine Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You will also need to add squats and maybe lunges as well. If you really train hard you can progress pretty quickly, the great thing about it is you can't cheat on pull ups and dips. With the dips just make sure you go all the way down.
