why? dont be scared to have the girl lift weights. its perfectly safe
The quote below is why I was under the impression weights were bad before puberty. The other piece of it is she is too young to go to the gym with me (13yo min) and I don't have very much at home (just some light DBs and bands). The DBs may be enough for her and I can definitely pick up some other small pieces of equipment.
quote:(From your link)
A dogmatic approach to resistance training in the youth population has hindered the progression of a scientific consensus for decades. Axioms such as “Resistance training stunts growth” and “Resistance training damages adolescent growth plates” have stymied proper study methodology and forced an overreliance on expert opinion.
Your posts are very detailed and provide a lot of reading material. Appreciate it greatly. Definitely going to bookmark and go thru the different suggestions.

the post from BM goes into detail why that is a myth. weight lifting aka resistance training, is support by the pediatric doctors association of america

Children of all ages with proper supervision can benefit from resistance training
pretty common myth that it stunts growth, actually quite the opposite.

this is what i would do in your situation and not wantintg to spend a bunch
get a set of gym rings
build sandbags. just buy 3 bags of play sand from lowes for like $3 each. get a small and medium sandbag like this
use zip lock bags and make 5lbs bags of sand. tape them up. use that to adjust the weight in the sandbags.
between rings and the sandbag, and bodyweight she can get way way ahead
or find a place locally that trains youth in actual strength. where are you located? may be able to help
