Will doing 10 pound dumbbells stunt my growth?

Question

like doing bicep curls, tricep exercises, etc...i'm 17 yrs old by the way.

i meant growth as in height growth...if i didn't make that clear

Answer 1

no. usually after the age of 12 you can start with 5 or 10 pound dumbells. A person usually stops growing anyway at the age of 18-20.

Answer 2

No amount of weight lifting will stunt your growth.. It will probably do exactly the opposite by building new muscles, encouraging greater stretching due to better muscle tone, and making you feel better.. So start slow, do 3 sets of 20 reps .. then rest.. if you're not too tired, do three more sets.. etc. then build up to a few hundreds reps a day.. and eat a lot of protean, and get a lot of sleep.. and you'll look great..
You should by the way read some body building books, perhaps some of the ones that talk about how muscles grow. Or Google, "How do muscles grow." Great muscle tone won't' stunt your growth. Ok?

Answer 3

If I were you? completely a NO. NO double dumbells even as in status position. i'm 16 and virtually 5'11, or perhaps as i develop into round 14+ i tried to lift weights for a month or so like your self and it stunted my boost through abit. docs claimed even as i develop into youthful that i might want to advance as a lot as 6 foot or better yet now that's the evidence. And certain, i did the weights lower than acceptable supervision. at present, i'm nonetheless no longer doing any status dumbbells or some thing. I do basically it even as in a seated or napping on bench positions. heavily, wait till your boost starts to offer up like 18. For now, basically take it uncomplicated and attempt no longer to lift heavy stuff status.

Answer 4

No it won't. I would reccomend talking to a physiologist about this sort of stuff though. Any idiot here will probably say " weights don't stunt growth." Doctors say the opposite though. until your growth plates have closed or you're at a point where you don't want to grow any taller (6,2 ft) then start lifting heavy weights. Focus on doing more reps if you can easily do 15 reps easily then you can stick with that certain weight.

Answer 5

No it wont but it's much, much better to do compound exercise than direct ones. You should only do 3 exercise - bench press, rows and chin-ups, and squats and forget the rest.
Do flat and incline bench presses - this will also work your triceps.
Bentover rows and chin-ups will work your back and biceps.
Heavy squats will work your thighs right down to your calves.
Do 8 - 10 reps, 3 -4 sets per exercise excluding warm-up sets.
Do chest on day 1, back on day 2 and legs on day three. Rest for 2 days and start the cycle again.
Eat more carbs and protein, eliminate fat, salt and sugar. Do this for at least 12 weeks and you will see encouraging results.

Answer 6

No? Obviously I'm no expert but I would imagine that any kind of weight training would build muscle. You're probably not going to see a big growth in bulk but it can't be bad for you

Answer 7

It won't stunt your growth and it won't build muscle either, that's just too light.

Answer 8

how in the world could that stunt your growth???

Answer 9

I'd say no. As long as you don't do too much and hurt yourself. Or drop them on your head. Course that would fall under "hurting yourself" though wouldn't it.
