[kris22]

I was wondering because im like weeker than 7th graders at my school andim in 8th when i go thru puberty if i will get stronger.

[TheDude]

Same.

Yes your muscle mass will increase when you develop during puberty. Its just a matter of waiting until it does. I wouldn't advise trying whieght lifting until you are at least 16 as you will only damage yourself.

[Hauptmann Kauffman]

I agree with Sam, You're entire body will grow. Just wait awhile, and you should be fine.

[kris22]

Well there is a problem with weight lifting :X
In me pe class we jut started weight lifting and its going to keep going for 4 weeks.

[Hauptmann Kauffman]

yeah, my PE class did that too. just keep it toned down. Dont bench too much, dont strain yourself. Just be careful.

When I lived in California (Years Years ago) When I was in kindergarten (Like 8 Years a go)
In PE I had to do mega jumping jacks! (Oh my arm! My leg!)
Ya so I'm 14 now and I live in Oregon and I do Home School!
Man that was hard!

lol last year when i was 12 i did atheltics (you can choose that or do regular PE and just play all day)which is like weightlifting and sports and stuff ^^ Sam what country are YOU from :P

[Gavin]

yeah i wouldnt recommend doing weightlifting if your under 16 although i do it and it builds up my muscles

[RaisingSand]

Yeah, your muscle mass will get greater as you go through puberty, and after that's happend, if you still want to get stronger you can join a gym and do weight training.

[underoath12192]

Yes your muscle mass will become great but you can still lift weights. I honestly don't undertand where ppl get the idea that weight lifting will hurt u. JUST DONT OVER DO IT!! Other than that wieght lifting is perfectly fine at 13.

[Gavin]

13 what are you on about, if your under 16 you shouldn't be atempting to lift weights or even lifted them your body is not designed to do that kind of stuff at young ages like that.

[close]

everyones different but you may get stronger after puberty but work out and youll get stronger

[Aηdy]

Weight lifting is fine, you will just need to take the usual precautions like not lifting anything too heavy or not going for too long.

I agree. it's okay to start at 13 but you want to start off small and build your way up and not overdo it.

Ask your parents for guidance on how to start lifting weights.
