Hi docs, do you think it's bad to lift weights at the age of 15? when is the earliest it's safe to start?

Specializes in Sports Medicine

It ok: You can lift weights but you shouldn't be lifting heavy weights since youre growth plates are still open Id work more on lighter weights with more reps to increase strength but not bulky strength
