6 common myths about kids and strength training There are a handful of myths about kids and strength training that just won’t die. Let’s fix that: ❌ It stunts growth ❌ It’s dangerous for bones or growth plates ❌ Kids need to wait until they’re 12 ❌ Girls will get “bulky” ❌ It starts or delays puberty ❌ You need expensive equipment or a private coach Here’s the truth: If a child can follow instructions, stay focused and wants to train, they’re ready. Early training builds coordination, motor control and a lifelong movement foundation—not massive muscles. Bottom line (and just like I say on every podcast): If they have a body, they’re an athlete. Let’s stop holding kids back with bad science.

@plalor Unbelievable. And only 60 years ago!

Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it. (Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)

Great news! Lia Thomas won't be able to compete in women's category at the Olympics or any other elite competition. He has just lost his legal battle in Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling. This is a victory for women and girls everywhere ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/transgend…
