Neobliviscaris1776 1,998 Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 Too young imo, what benefits will she gain at such a young age? Injury risk is too high. She's only 9years old ffs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

big sid 1,118 Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 tomo she is far to young to put her tendons muscles and ligaments under the strain of lifting 220lbs where she thinks it fun or not. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 6,570 Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 The weights may well be made of wood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 14,553 Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 Disgusting of no benefit at all other than to get social media likes for whatever level of training her parents / father does Far too young to be pulling them weights round 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 6,570 Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) If its kosher, and I don't think it is,then its abusive. Parents who push their kids, male or female, for their own warped agenda are bad news all round. I've always found the loudest parents on the touch line are the ones trying to make up for their own inadequacies. Edited June 28, 2022 by jukel123 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 6,570 Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 Living your life through your kids is bad for parents and kids. When you read about the kind of lives the Williams sisters had ,it puts their success in perspective. Same for Thierry Henry,Tiger Woods. Their parents were hyper critical and withheld approval and love unless they achieved success. I think most force fed, high achieving kids just wished they had had a normal childhood. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pesky1972 4,926 Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 Think it could be legit, some big nine year olds, and power to weight feasible imo, and with good technique? That said, it wouldn’t be my daughter. I’ve always stopped mine picking up heavy weights, be it helping move slabs in the garden, or lifting dumbbells in the garage. No way I’d want them getting a bad back injury at a young age, it could fcuk them up for life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
