I'm 16 should i lift weights?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, if...: You have hit puberty and are physically growing. This is the best time in your life to lift weights, since you have the confluence of naturally high growth hormone and rising testosterone. If you do not lift now, you can never catch up with the gains you'l make later! but, never lift heavy alone!
