So, I'm skinny, and I'm only 14 yrs old, I turned 14 not long ago, in (December last year) rn is 2021. I'm 5'5 or 5'6 or you can say 168/169cm. Not sure cuz we kinda did the measurement wrong since we only measure it at home. And I'm tryna be a bit muscular, not being underweight like I am rn. So I started lifting at like age 13-14, but not much at 13. And I only use one dumbbell since I only have one (15Ib btw) but It's a bit heavy for me cuz I am skinny, not sure if I should keep lifting (not all the time tho, prob like 1 time or 2 times a week. And I DO wanna get taller, IDK if I should keep lifting at age 14. Parent's height is 5'7 - DAD 4'11 or maybe 5 - MOM. EDIT - I can kinda lift 15 pounds tho. And also I only have a 15Ib dumbbell.

Can I do squats with the 8kg and 2 5 plates. I-m 13 if that helps and my mom said that if you lift weights you will get tears or something like that. And when you sleep your hormones fill in that tear or whatever it is. And that takes away from growing. Is that true. Also can I do all the machines like leg press and chest press and arm rowing and tricep pulls and bicep curls and hack squat. And all those machines. I-m doing all these now, and I do what I think is heavy for my age. For example, 80 kg with leg press, 10 kg with chest press and 60 kg with hack squat. I know that he said that it-s okay to do tricep pulls and squats but I just wanted to make sure with my age because I-m in my prime of growing

well, i feel like a really young kid going the road of heavy weight lifting is just parents influence, kids should stick to trying numerous sports, and learning more technical things like you said, and like you said a kid wouldn't grow much muscle, kids should stick to push ups, sit ups and squats, slow progress and really beneficial. i recommand martial arts for kids since i grew up boxing, it helps develop the personality, remove fear and it gives you a huge load of discipline which are really required by kids, stop rushing the road

Bruh I was the tallest in class and gained a lot of height from 12 to 13 but since I went to the gym when I became 14 I havent gained a cm or maybe only 1 and almost everyone has caught up with me I'm currently 15, so idk it may be that my genetics just stop there but imo it did stunt my growth literally everyone in my school is getting taller and taller and I have been stuck at 173(5-8) since last year, so if anyone knows the reason pls tell me

it stunts growth when your starving yourself before and during growth spurts. like when you only eat enough for gains, but not enough to get gains+grow. teens should eat more than adults, teens should never be cutting. but teens shouldnt look like jeff cavalier before growth spurts, their young bones cant handle that. they should be toned and lean though.

I know this is old. But personally I played aau basketball and was short grew from the conditioning and playing then lifted weights and grew some more. Currently at like 5-9 meanwhile my parents are 5-4 but I do hope I can grow more. I started late and wish I started sooner because I probably could have gotten the little bit of growth.

Lifting weights DOES make you shorter, i have lost 2 cm during the last 6 years working out. I started workouts at the age of 24
It's not a big deal for me i look 2 cm shorter and 15 kg more muscular -
However if you don't want to take my experience as an example just watch the world champions weight lifters
