Is there really no issue that i weight lift as a 16 year old?

Weight lifting teens: If you have proper form and know what you are doing it can be safe to lift weights as a 16 year old. Be careful that you don't over do it, make sure you rest muscle groups, and make sure you work opposing muscle groups as well. Drink lots of water, pay attention to proper nutrition, and get sleep to recover as well.

Depends on meaning: I encourage my patients to find physical activities that they can be engaged in for a lifetime. The idea of lifting weights can mean many things. The aap and certified trainer groups recommend no power lifting until the final stage of physical maturity which is when you reach your final height.Training in proper lifting under supervision of a certified trainer is fine.
