Do you believe lifting stunts your growth?

Kerri McCaslin’s her name, aka “lil evil”. Everyone who post on FI seems to think she’s great, but everyone else seems to think she’s a total joke.
Both her parents, Sandi and Zane lift. Zane was the one who made the duct tape bench shirt and press 600+ in it…
Ya, I haven’t heard of her before. That would make sense, that guy and then his kid.
Personally I think it’s cool she’s lifting. On the flip side, wearing briefs, a suit, and wraps at her age and weights is one of the dumbest things I’ve seen in a while.

How can you tell she’s wearing briefs?

She didn’t look very happy in that pic did she.
I’ve never really seen people smiling while attempting a max lift. 
Yeah, but she doesn’t look like she’s grimacing with effort, clinching teeth, etc. She looks like she’s frowning and going through the motions. The more I look at it, the more disgusting it is. [/quote]
Looks like she’s just begun to set up to me.

Would you be happy if your dad whored you in front of cameras all the time and made you lift heavy weights when all you want to do is play dress-up with your dolls?
She’s the bread winner of that family and her dad does not make any pretenses about it.[/quote]
That’s barbie barbell. Google her. She does photo shoots, endorsements, etc. Show me one place where zane has ever said that kerri is the breadwinner of the family
Honestly I believe someone as young as her shouldn’t be doing 1rep maxes. i mean kids her age aren’t that coordinated and the potential for injury is quite large. I think she should be doing 5 rep maxes. but thats my opinion. its great though that she is getting into the sport early.

I can agree with this. I’ll probably have my kids (if I have kids) doing oly lifting/gymnastics as soon as they are coordinated enough too, but the whole one rep max deal can be a scary though with very small kids.
She might train with mostly 5 reps and plus, and the only time she does 1 rep maxes is on the platform, just something to think about.

The same way playing basketball makes you tall…

That’s ridiculous. Playing basketball imparts no adaptive stress on the muscles, bones, and attachments. Lifting clearly does (that is, after all, the point). I’m not saying that lifting definitely stunts growth in children, but reasonable arguments can be made that it does.

Reasonable arguments can be made that computer games turn kids into murderers.
If that were the case, we’d be overrun by serial killers. Hell, I’d be in the German newspapers ever day.
In reality however, nothing of that is happening for some very strange reason…
Again… Kids fall down from high places, jump down stairs, crash into each other in football or ice-hockey etc, do cartwheels, etc…
Most of those things create much higher forces on the joints and growth plates (and things happen suddenly instead of in a controlled fashion) than a 120 or 180 lb squat.

Are you joking? Basketball places no stress on muscles, bones or attachments?
YOU ARE RETARDED
IT WAS A JOKE!
Of course basketball doesn’t make you tall. Neither does squatting make you short.
But tall people are good at basketball and short people are good at squatting, so idiots believe there’s some causal connection.
