lifting weights cause shrinkage?

[NachoMan]

Let me guess, you buddy is a fat, pasty lump of **** who sits around playing XBOX all day?

[GhostInMachines]

im pretty sure hes talkin about shrinkage as in ur **** and balls, not in ur muscles...

didnt realize that right away lol yea.. but u wouldnt be getting any bigger if u lost all ur testosterone neways. wow. thats even weirder question than i thought originally. wow.

[leff]

lol go find the ******est neanderthal in the gym and he'll tell you, lift heavy stuff, then u can lift more heavy stuff

aright lol i was being a deusch bag, I know u never said weights make you small, i dont think u came up with this on ur own

i get you on this:
your like wtf is my friend talking about, is their some fraction to a truth or some weird stipulation that he is slightly correct, somehow?
well, no. lift weights, you grow.


when i hear rediculously absurd **** it runs through my brain before i figure out its not true, it can be confusing to hear this, and some things register quicker than others.

ah, i think i know what he ment. are you kind of young? like not in highschool yet? its been believed that at a young age, before youve hit puberty that heavy, i mean intense heavy lifting supposedly stunts growth. youll still get muscle and what not, but it may mess up your hormones and you may not reach growth potential by altering growth plates and whatnot.
correct me if im wrong i dont know much about adolecents in weight training i just know the basics

funny story is i know a few kids from back in highschool, and they were the power lifters back in like 7th grade to get big for football. they were huge back then. now these kids arent even over 5'7'. DEF could be a coincidence tho. they used to try and push me around back in the day before i was into heavy lifting, but now im just as built, plus i got a half foot on them

sorry if thats not true and i made all of you ******er
all im saying is the younger you are relative to puberty, the more toil it has on your body.(just like the older you get, the more wear and tear starts to show)

yet another myth.

weightlifting put less pressure on hormons than many sports as football(soccer).

its has been documented by big studies in russia were powerlifting is a big sports even by children, and their snitt height is the same as inthe rest off the country.


to the powerlifters from you scholl its not necessary that they are shorter than the rest, not because weightlifting makes you shorter but because short and stocky type is better for strenght sports.

you would for example not say that basketball makes you taller even though the better players are tall.

get it?

[D.I.E.S.E.L]

one of my friends insists that lifting weights can cause shrinkage. he says lifting causes you to release testosterone and eventually you will have lower levels permanently. anyone here know for sure if this is true or false? i dont want any pseudoscientist answering this question. if you don't know, say so.

if thats true then i would wonder what your friend's physical state is. He played you for a sucka.

all i said was that if you havent hit puberty, then heavy weight lifting might not be good for your body and might contort the figure if you alter it in a way it shouldnt be. lol i just think of little baby arms being ravaged by trying to lift weights and never being the same again. however, i dont really know what im talking about so if its not true ill buy it.

lifting heavy affects bone growth in young men due to the impact on the bones and joints.

You shouldnt lift before the age of 16-17.

This is false. Mel Siff a world renowned sports scientist has debunked this myth lots of times. Do you think young kids that do BJJ, football etc worry about their bones being effected when they lift their opponents?. You realise that acticities such as running and sprinting cause more impact then a set of Squats or Deads?
