True development you don't see everyday. This is my 14 year old 8th grade son squatting his 5th set of 5 reps of 325 pounds. He weighs 185 pounds. Impressive power and technique.

@LeeStewartNZ @Owen_Forsyth30 @StrengthDebates @MashElite Short answer - stability

[Scott Forsyth @Coach_Forsyth]

@CryptoSala @Owen_Forsyth30 @StrengthDebates @MashElite Yet contact sports like football are totally fine!

[Scott Forsyth @Coach_Forsyth]

@StrengthDebates Starting Strength is great for STARTING. Eventually you get to a place where you have to branch out. We still do 5x5s. We also do triples and doubles and singles and occasionally higher rep sets.

I've seen my son's squat go from 365 to 405 in literal weeks.

@ga16788 @Owen_Forsyth30 @StrengthDebates @MashElite Big fan!

[Scott Forsyth @Coach_Forsyth]

@ga16788 @Owen_Forsyth30 @StrengthDebates @MashElite I feel the bar feels better on the back and is easier to grip. It feels better in every way. And because the weight is below the placement of the bar it won't roll which adds stability

[Scott Forsyth @Coach_Forsyth]

@VikingGod351227 @Owen_Forsyth30 @StrengthDebates @MashElite Correct 55 pound bar

[Scott Forsyth @Coach_Forsyth]

@michaelsnape @Owen_Forsyth30 @StrengthDebates @MashElite His 8th grade season. He can definitely move.

@Iransux1 @Owen_Forsyth30 @StrengthDebates @MashElite Sure thing, pal

[Scott Forsyth @Coach_Forsyth]

@morestupider @ChillBeal @Owen_Forsyth30 @StrengthDebates @MashElite Three 45s each side on a 55 pound bar = 325

Studies have since debunked the stunting growth claim. Lifting weights and exercise actually increases growth hormone production.

Growth plate injuries in controlled lifting movements are RARE. They are not rare in FIELD SPORTS.

@michaelsnape @Owen_Forsyth30 @StrengthDebates @MashElite He does football, wrestling & track. I think his best sport is possibly wrestling. He has a lot of natural ability that is amplified with a strong work ethic.

All the past accomplishments mean very little as he is starting high school this upcoming season. That's what counts!

@MIKETH3MASTER @Owen_Forsyth30 @StrengthDebates @MashElite Lol ok man

[Scott Forsyth @Coach_Forsyth]

@Bradlito1 @Owen_Forsyth30 @StrengthDebates @MashElite I second this. And from my experience they have an intolerance to heat haha!

[Scott Forsyth @Coach_Forsyth]

@e3zr88 That was so heavy haha!

[Scott Forsyth @Coach_Forsyth]

@ChillBeal @Owen_Forsyth30 @StrengthDebates @MashElite The weight rests below the placement of the bar. It makes the bar impossible to roll. That adds stability. The curve of the bar is also more comfortable and easier on the shoulders to grip. It's a great piece of equipment

[Scott Forsyth @Coach_Forsyth]

@bordenfb4ever Started at 11 and taught him the right way from the jump.

[Scott Forsyth @Coach_Forsyth]

@ChillBeal @Owen_Forsyth30 @StrengthDebates @MashElite It's a 55 pound Duffalo bar.

[Scott Forsyth @Coach_Forsyth]

@e3zr88 Yes but nothing too terrible.
