What would be a good weight routine for a 13 year old? Free weights or what? And what pounds?
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
If you currently have too many women chasing you, calling you, harassing you, knocking on your door at 2 o'clock in the morning... then I have the simple solution for you.
Just read my free ebook 22 Rules for Massive Success With Women and do the opposite of what I recommend.
This will quickly drive all women away from you.
And you will be able to relax and to live your life in peace and quiet.

you're too young for weight training.
Wait til you're 15.
Your bones and joints are still too fragile for the beating your body takes during consistent weight training sessions.
If you must, do body-weight only exercises like pull-ups and push-ups for the upper body and stadium stairs to build up your legs.

you can start working out, but like it was said before, no weights. Do pushups, situps, pullups, etc.
Though it is a MYTH that weight lifting stunts growth, you still shouldn't be lifting too much when your body's still growing as rapidly strengthening bone.

I disagree with Deisel in that your bones and joints are too fragile because sprinting and playing sports subject far greater demands on you bones and joints than weightlifting.
But I do agree that you shoud start with bodyweight stuff first. Start with basics like pushups, hindu squats, bridging, situps/crunches, whatever. Once you become proficient at those, try handstand pushups and one-legged squats. If you get good at those, then you can try moving on to weights.

sprinting and sports do put stress on the bones and joints, but nothing like the shearing forces you put on the bones when lifitng. It's a different kind of stress, that's all.

Just because a woman listens to you and acts interested in what you say doesn't mean she really is. She might just be acting polite, while silently wishing that the date would hurry up and end, or that you would go away... and never come back.

In my last article I discussed some general guidelines for improving athleticism in children. The focus of this article will be youth strength training. There are many myths and fallacies surrounding resistance training for kids. Parents are frequently asking me, "At what age is it safe for my child to start lifting?" They are under the misapprehension that strength training is dangerous and can stunt their child's growth. Allegedly strength training damages the growth plates of growing bones. Even many exercise professionals fall sway to this argument, prescribing at most body weight exercises for children under the age of 14.
This argument is flawed and without merit. Epidemiological studies done with bone scans by orthopedists have not shown any greater incidence of epiphyseal damage among children who lift weights. Injury rates in team sports dwarf those incurred from strength training. Stress imposed on the body by running and jumping is up to 300% greater than those imposed by lifting. Dr. Mel Siff, one of the country's preeminent sport scientists, asserts that damage among children who lift is grossly exaggerated and is on the scale of an urban myth. With participation in sports increasing, especially among females, there is a significant need for better physical preparation to prevent sport injuries.
if you are lifting 2 pound dumbbells then of course it will give you no stress. But if you are doing what experienced guys like DIESEL lift, then you will know the stress we are talking about.
Kids around that age cannot do those weights. So yes, jumping will put more stress for kids. At that age, they are better off playing basketball.

Firstly DIESEL is right in a way. at the age of 13 your body is going through a major change physically. i don't believe lifting weights can stunt growth but it can mess up other stuff.
and also most 13 year olds are into the whole "heman" complex where they feel they gotta prove somthin but going way too heavy.
little dude,
from my experience man i would recommend doing push-ups and pull-ups for upper body and a good routine for your abs. IF FOR ANY REASON you do decide to lift PLEASE do it VERY LIGHTWEIGHT. just cuz theres no point in going too heavy at ur age and most liekly very light weight

Uhh... I know the stress that weights put on you, the positive stress that is. I'm not talking about 2 pound Malibu Ken color-coded dumbbells, I'm talking about pure strength training.
I don't get your argument. You state that kids cannot lift weights, and that jumping will put more stress, so they should do basketball. Makes no sense to me.
Not much likely. That's why he should learn proper form first, when the weights are light. This defeats your arguments of "stress" on the bones and joints.
Why? I think kids should do sports, but they should train to keep in shape for their sports.
