Go to a better gym that isn't full of idiot trainers and staff....

But if that isn't an option Hyperextensions.

He is a f*cking idiot. Your growth plates won't be closed at 18 either.
+ Not to mention, you won't damage your growth plates with weight lifting, unless you actually snap a bone in half.


Lift with good form and you won't have an issue.

No they are wrong, done properly it will turn your lower back into a force to be reckoned with.

Find other gym
or just deadlift add weight when they arent looking
or make an argument talk to the staff there help them understand that many 15 years olds pulled 5 plates easily before.

how much does a plate weight?

[chazzy1864]

how much does a plate weight?

In this regard, he is speaking of 45lb plates and by "5 plates", he is referring to 5 plates per side of the bar.

So it would be a 495lb lift.

"A plate" refers to a 45lb or 20kg (44lbs) plate per side of the bar.

thank you all!

One armed dumbell deads with heavier weight. Tell them you are picking up the weight to press or curl, but you keep dropping it
