Can powerlifting stunt your kid's growth? When and how should they start? | 50% Facts Podcast

We took on a topic that was posted to the video version of last week’s episode by viewer Mateus Daniel:

The topic I'm most interested at the moment is how kids should begin to learn powerlifting: at what age should they start? How often should they train? Can a normal powerlifting coach be their coach? Etc....

We unpacked this topic with some questions of our own:

• Is it a good idea for kids to JUST powerlift, or should strength training just be used to develop strength for other sports?
• How often should kids lift?
• What questions should you ask a potential coach for your child?

We approached this from our own perspectives, but we’re going to address it again with future guests.
