yes he could hurt him self
Yes. Straining while lifting weights is dangerous for anyone, male or female, regardless of age. If you're straining or having trouble keeping the weights under control, you're lifting too much weight.
No. Lifting weights is an excellent exercise and unless done to excess will not be harmful.
Are you asking "Will lifting weights one hour per year result in increased muscle mass?" If so the answer is NO!
No, in fact, it can improve their muscular strength and their overall health. However, if done taken to an extreme, it can be dangerous, as it can cause them to tear muscle tissues. So keep it within a reasonable limit, and lifting weights can be good for everyone.
I'm 13 and I've been lifting heavy weights for a year and it hasn't stunted my growth so you will be fine
Anything you want to do..but if you mean for exercise then you could always do sports. You can run or swim or ride a bike. Lifting weights is about the only way you are going to get bigger though (i mean muscle mass, not skeletal size)
A 13 year old can get ripped by eating right and exercising. Lifting weights is one way to get ripped at any age.
Keep lifting. Lift consistently, and do not skip. Try to eat lean meats after lifting, and remember: it isn't how much you can lift that ultimately determines strength, you will gain strength even if you lift smaller weights very frequently.
In general, lifting weights is a safe activity. Unlike, say, contact sports like hockey or football or dangerous sports like horseback riding, if you warm up properly and use proper exercise technique the only injuries you may suffer are minor.Nevertheless, it is possible to hurt yourself training alone (in other words, without a spotter) at home. In fact, if you blackout during a bench press you could even kill yourself. That happens on average several times a year in North America and Europe. Still, if you breathe properly and you are using a properly set power rack, that kind of injury cannot happen. Therefore, it is healthy and not dangerous to lift weights at home IF you are lifting properly.
Start lifting with what you are comfortable with and then gradually start adding weight. Ex. start lifting 5lb, next week (or every other week) make it a 10lb weight
there are many different ways that you can lift something. i would need to know how you are lifting this weight. but, if you can lift it and it doesn't hurt then you should be fine. although it is said that you shouldn't be lifting weights until youre older, as it can affect your development.
It depends how mature the 13 year old is, but at this age a lot of growing is happening, and the bones tend to be softer, so i would recommend lifting not heavy weights for muscle mass but more lighter weights for muscle tone.
