So, /fit/, I've heard you shouldn't do SQUATZ when you're not finished growing, as it can fuck up your back, is this true? Can Anon please enlighten me?

They won't fuck you up if you use PROPER form. Start lifting heavy when your balls drop aka puberty

By puberty, do you mean when it ends, or when it begins, or what?

When it begins. Typical Western males reach that age around 13-15 years old. If you don't do stupid shit to injure yourself, doing squats and deadlifts will help you grow man, I mean fucking GROW. These exercises release lots of growth hormones and testosterone, and puberty is when the body can produce the most.

As one anon said earlier, if you have proper form you will be fine.

If you have improper form at any age, it will fuck you up, thats for sure. More so for younger kids I suppose.

i completely disagree with the guys telling you that if you have proper form you wont fuck up your back. I starting lifting when i was about 14 and was taught proper form. however, regardless of whether you use proper form or not, your legs are made up of several very largemuscles that require a lot of weight if you are trying to get bigger. point is, putting weight on your shoulders will compress your spine. i am 20 years old now, and have severe scoliosis, a compacted spine, and slipped discs. if you are going to do squats, wear a belt, have great form, and try to alternate other leg exercises so that you are only doing squats about once a month.
