Can 13 Year Olds lift weights?

If they have been following a bodyweight routine for more than 3 months and have really good form. His stats are....

Deadlift - 165% bodyweight - 156
Bench Press - 100 % bodyweight - 95
Squat - ??????? - No squat rack

[captinaaa]

yes
for example Arnold Schwarzenegger started lifting at your age

Id say ur safe. Just use good form and what not so u dont snap yo chit up. Lift with compound movements and eat big.

A better question is SHOULD 13 y/o's BE lifting weights?
And on top of that when did dead lifts and bench press become body weight exercises? Who's opinion is it the HE has really good form?
If ur friend wants to lift weights them get him a coach with a reputable record with kids n teenagers. Otherwise 13 year olds shouldn't be lifting weights...

He needs to post form check videos that aren't potato quality and look for criticism.

He needs to eat a sh*ton too OP

I started lifting about your age, i wasnt super committed then but id get into the gym a few times a week. I was 5'4 then so if anyone claims it will stunt your growth tell them to refer to this post

Yes you can but you will only get strength gains, not to much gains around the physique way because your puberty cycle isnt done yet.

More likely to hurt yourself if anything. You haven't finished growing wait until you're 15-16 because you will hurt yourself badly if you mess it up. You wont put on muscle either until around those ages.

Lift!!! develope good habits and you'll be fine. I started at 12, you wont gain physique or put on pounds of muscle only strengthen the muscle you already have, Therefore eating big is good if you have a high metabolism and were SUPER skinny like I was but if not It can turn to fat and nobody wants that because your not bulking at that age. I didnt gain/develope noticible muscles until I was 14. My advice is lift but everyone has there own opinion on this.

Yes you can, but don't lift very big weights because your still very young and developing.
