Well from the advice of my earlier post, i decided to go down to the gym. Unfortunaly having entered and just sat down i was asked my age, i replied 14, in which i was edjected from the gym as under 16's where not allowed. so i then whet out and brought a set of 2 dumbells (4kg each - any comments light, heavy?) However having brought them some 1 told me that doing weights stub your growth which is of great concern to me as at the moment im only 1m 58 cm. My voice hasnt broken either. My weight is 46.200 kg. Im also from england London.

I was also wondering about a simple routine with only the dumbells, cos im really poor :/ i think ive got my diet good enough ( 6 meals a day ) so any adivce on a routine and how often would be nice thankyou very much.

Pls reply Smile

Working out with weights does not stunt growth. Maybe if you were still growing and went really heavy... thus causing some pressure on the growth plates would it do that. But I'm referring to a kid who's in his early teens doing powerlifting stuff. Heavy weight. Frequently. And by heavy I mean 1-5 rep range. With a spotter.

You would be just fine to start working out with weights. Dumbbells are a great option as well.

Here's a link that should help you out. Just look down the page for Dumbbell Exercises and Dumbbell Workouts

also on one of the pages it says "10 repetitions is good for toning and shaping. If you want to add muscle do lower reps"

does that mean less or just bend lower? < tard.
