One time I was at the gym and I was squatting for football, and this guy came and told me to wait a while before I squat because it will stunt my growth. Is he right? Does squatting really affect a 14 year old growth?

Hi, guest.
Don't worry. No, using 5-pound dumbbells as part of a balanced exercise routine is unlikely to stunt your growth. In fact, regular exercise can promote healthy growth and development during adolescence.
Strength training with light weights like 5-pound dumbbells can help you build muscle and improve your overall fitness. It's important to use proper form and technique when lifting weights to prevent injury, and to start with lighter weights and gradually increase the weight as you become stronger.
It's also important to remember that while exercise can have many benefits for your health, it is just one part of a healthy lifestyle. Be sure to eat a balanced diet, get enough sleep, and stay hydrated to support your growth and development during adolescence.
Do you use any other weights?

As you progress in your fitness journey, you may want to gradually increase the weight you use to continue challenging your muscles. However, it's important to listen to your body and avoid lifting weights that are too heavy for you, as this can increase the risk of injury. It's always a good idea to consult with a fitness professional or trainer who can guide you on proper form and help create a personalized workout plan that aligns with your goals and abilities.
