E246: Myths Surrounding Weight Training in Children and Adolescents

Founders of Pre-Script™ and RX'D Radio return this week to discuss the highly controversial topic of kids and weight training. Shallow discusses from a developmental perspective whether lifting weights will actually stunt growth in adolescents, and the boys share opinions on when it might be appropriate to incorporate resistance training into a child's routine. They discuss what it takes to build a child into a healthy athlete no matter their sport, and what role lifting weight can play in that development. Tune in!
