The "Stunted Growth" Myth

Lifting weights does NOT stunt growth. This is a myth. In fact, mechanical loading increases bone density. The risk is Injury to growth plates from bad form, not the weight itself.

Fitblues for Teens

We prioritize technique over weight.

  • Form Lock: The app encourages teens to master form (getting Gold Stars) before increasing weight.
  • Bodyweight First: We recommend starting with calisthenics to build coordination.
  • Education: The app explains why we do things, creating educated lifters.

Nutrition for Growth

Teens need fuel. They are growing AND training. Fitblues ensures they are eating enough to support both, preventing "Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport" (RED-S).
