I've always heard that lifting heavy young can stunt growth and/or lead to problems later on life that are attributed to lifting heavy while your body is developing. It puts ALOT of un-needed stress on developing joints. -------------- train smart, then hard ---------------------- form over weight ---------------------- warmup, cooldown & stretch so seldom seen
