lifting heavy weights for short burst (the heaviest you can safely lift) stimulates the production of Human Groth Hormone to be released into the body and actually prevents the negative effects of ageing.

@SilenceaftertheSteel It's not about the kid, it's about weightlifting itself - most of the spine traumas don't recover, you could experience pain in the back for the rest of your life, or even become paralyzed. What will you have in return? Does it worth the risk?

@oguretsagressive This kids form looks solid. You must be hate that he's 15 and stonger than you

American meat is full of Groth Hormones, that's why those kid's are strong and earlier grow up, but they die younger ass well. But I respect the kid and the weight's he lift.

weightlifting does not stunt growth. i lift 1 rep max every workout since i was 13 and im 6'7'' and 205 lbs
-
How is there no way he is 15? I'm 6ft6 280 lbs at 15? Its possible. Gotta give this kid props that's amazing. although I've never maxed I doubt I could do that...
-
are those 45 plates?? cause that'd be 320+ for each hand
It's a shame this outdated information about stunted growth and teen weight lifting is still circulating. I am his father and coach. I have been a trainer/coach and rehabiliation specialist for ove 20 years. This myth is false. You need to do more scientific research before making these comments. Look it up on Google, check out medical data and see for yourself.

I agree 100%. The info out there is so distorted. My rule of thumb (also what i was tought at a young age) is that you shouldn't start lifting heavy until you reach the age of 13 or 14. Weight training is ok for anyone over 11 or 12 but heavy lifting should start no earlier than 13-14 yrs of age. Would you agree with that? Great job coach, your son is going to shatter records for yrs to come.

It depends on the child. Myself and many other coaches have trained kids as young as 10 years old for powerlifting. Granted they must learn form & technique first then slowly work on increasing the load lifted. Form and safety are always first then weight.
