Way to stunt your child's growth. People like this should not be parents

[mesomom512]

@screwmanx Your idea of exercise if probably doing 12 ounce curls sitting on your ass on your couch. More kids should do pullups. The level of fitness among school age children is pathetic.

[screwmanx]

@mesomom512 Are you an idiot? Science shows that strenuous resistance exercise on children under the age of 18 stunts their growth and can even deform their bones. You look like a retarded air head so probably don't even know what science is. I hope your child thanks you when he has arthritis, osteoporosis or is in a wheel chair by the time he is in his 20's, such a loving father like you deserves it.

@screwmanx Please see comments from du4492. He's anxious for your retort.

[muscleartist90]

Damn! I admire what you do to your kid! He will be a complete beast after.

[mesomom512]

@muscleartist90 You should see him wrestle! 

[du4492]

crickets........

[screwmanx]

@mesomom512 I read them and laughed at the complete bullshitted-ness he was saying.

[du4492]

@screwmanx Show me the science. And certainly, one as academic as you could come up with the scientific explanation of "retarded air head" for me. Right?

[du4492]

Screwmax with any luck you can make it to the NSCA Youth Training Symposium next year. I would love to be in the room when you tell them they are ignorant and terrible parents. Can you believe they are even going to talk about Olympic lifting for youth?..... Call the Department of Human Services before anymore of this countries youth are exposed to the madness!!!!

[du4492]

Age 18!!?? Maybe we should start a grassroots effort to get all 18 year olds to stop lifting. I know it might be hard to convince all of those high school strength and conditioning coaches, and all the college freshmen, but we need to do it for the safety of our youth. Perhaps we could convert all the Strength and Condo rooms and weight rooms into classrooms where these tender youth could study science, and exercise science. Sorry.... I couldn't contain my sarcasm any longer!

[du4492]

Oh and just for the record "arthritis, osteoporosis or is in a wheel chair" are all symptoms stemming from inactivity (barring genetics). Resistance training is the number one prescription for osteoporosis, because bone remodels (grows) when exposed to resistance. While you're reading Grasso and Starr, look up Wolff's Law to further self-expose your ignorance.

[du4492]

@screwmanx In case that doesn't enlighten you, feel free to read any of Bill Starr or Brian Grasso's work regarding youth strength training. Two leaders in the field. I trust exercise science is not your field or background, because this myth/debate has been put to rest years ago. Please bring yourself up to speed, for yourself and for the sake of those you might influence.

[du4492]

@screwmanx I'll restrain from name calling, but perhaps you are the one that needs to "bone" up on your science. The NSCA cites in Chapter 7 of the Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning text book for articles/research to support the following statement "clinicians, coaches,and exercise scientists now agree that resistance training can be a safe and effective method of conditioning for children." I will gladly cite the full biblographies if you would like to educate yourself.

Wow, a comment like the last one, is the reason I feel Youtube needs an ignorance/idiot filter. I would love to hear the explanation of how pull ups stunt ones growth. First off, it's a tensile force not a compressive force. There is no excessive epiphesial plate loading in a body weight exercise, especially pull-ups. Frankly, carrying a back pack to school creates greater loads on the body than a pull up.... need I go on?
