Also, high weight intense ballistic style lifts like clean and jerk or snatch are contraindicated in the <16-17 yr old ages due to very high risk of injury, however there are very closely monitored children who do start training in these lifts that do just fine. As a general rule, it is however contraindicated. Hope this helps.

So I listened to a presentation by the leading expert in pediatric sports medicine who was also the team physician for Team USA in the Sydney Olympics. Here are his thoughts on children training.

Training is possible at age 7-8 when we've learned to balance. However it is appropriate for very few children.

Training for children before puberty works best with sports specific strength training in addition to cardio training.

The 13-16 year age is the most concerning age for strength training because children are at the peak velocity of growth. And if you are going through a big growth spurt, your bones may "outgrow" your tendons which put you at a greater risk for injury.

And once you are 16 and have likely reached full puberty, you have the hormones on board to maximize strength training, and vertical growth has started to slow down making you less likely to injure yourself.

And of course, we are all different, so each of the above are subject to variation.

it's never easy. just keep Eat, Eat, Eating and Lifting Big and you'll become a godlike monster!!!!

of course I read it. I always told you you were a beast!
way to rep EF bro!!!!

I've got a bunch of vids that I've taken recently, been deciding on whether or not to post/upload them. Doesn't seem like there is much interest aside from you and a couple of others and since I primarily video my lifts to check form/make corrections there isn't much need to share them.
