good luck man. can't wait to see the results

nice and lean, get to workin hard!! dont be scared of the weights! body weight exercises will only take you so far, i would suggest hittin some iron with your BW workouts. remember too that diet is the most important part to good results, other than hard work of course. good luck though keep us updated!

first day with no buds, 11/17, need a new job. 1 down 13 to go.

well i wasn't sure if i should be lifting cuz i'm 14. I'm only like 5'5. my jujitsu trainer said pushups can build bulk.

yeah if you're only 14, stick to the bodyweight exercises and your jujitsu training. With the right diet you can get some good results at your age.

Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle.

it's not good to hit the iron at a young age.  it can mess you up

yeah hit the iron, theres no proof that bodybuilding stunts growth, didn arnold start at around 14 years old? and look how big he is...if your sposed to be tall youll be tall...theres almost nothing that can change that IMO

yea with proper form and diet you actually grow from hitting the weights.

just gotta throw out ur ego and make urself not vulnerable to getting injured

as long as hes using proper form, he'll be safe. i know guys who began working out at the age of 12, and still grew to be over 6' 2". ive also never seen proof of it stunting growth. just start with low weight and work your way up, there shouldnt be any problems.

support your claim.

I dont listen to what you say anymore, youre wrong again.

you sound like kids in my school who wanna tell me stuff that they have just heard with no proof and insist that its the truth.  Quit spreading your bs.  Your a big guy, some young'n is gonna come on here lookin for advice and listen to your crap just because he wants your physique and your gonna send him down a slippery slope.

ive been training a year and im pretty sure its helped my growth im 14 and im taller than both of my brothers and there 19 and 23

i started lifting when i was around 14 (mostly my legs) cuz i wanted to jump higher, even tho i had great form..i still think it messed with my growth, u can really tell my legs are a lil shorter than what they're supposed to be..and now i have really bad knees, if i could do it all again..i would've waited til i was 18..i know i would atleast be a couple inches taller

update! 8/3/09

maxes and goals
bench - need to remax
goal bench - 405

squat - need to remax
goal squat - 500

deadlift - need to remax
goal deadlift - 500
weight -174.8 8%bf 

see i disagree.
i've been working out for a year. and in this year i still have grown 3 inches.
i'm 15 years old and i'm 6'4''.
i don't think it stunts it too much.

you will become a beast within the next 5 years if you eat like a madman.

I think I grew an inch since working out, which wasn't very long ago. I have no idea, but your trainer probably knows what he's doing.

    He never said it would stunt your growth.  However you can mess up your shoulder cuffs and growth plates if you lift too heavy and with bad form.  When your younger they are not as strong.  That is what my cousin told me ( he bodybuilds and is a chiropracter)  As for stunting your growth that is just a myth.

    I'd say at age 14 though you should be fine hitting the iron as long as you do it the right way. just remember to keep good form.  WHich should be no problem for you cuz im sure your jujitsu teacher is probably on you with form  so should be no problem.

Get up off your ass and train!

Ill say this much, at 14 years old, any and every high school football player is getting their first introduction to a structured weight training program, if they hadnt been already.  I started when I was 14 and Im 5' 9" at 20 which isnt impressive...BUT I was at 5' 0" at 14....I believe that if lifting was gonna stunt my growth I woulda been a lil shorter than that lol
