Christ almighty you still paraphrase incorrectly!!
Yes I do have a good idea on what I'm talking about, it's you that seems to make it up as you go along! Looks like you've succeded in turning your brain cells into muscle mass!!! Numptie!
OH really? I don't see that I even paraphrased your post, much less paraphrased incorrectly...

You said at 15 he is more likely to get a hernia?

At that age he is more likely to get a hernia then he would at 18,19,20 etc!
:kick: OH MANNN. I guess I totally misunderstood what you said. Please, kick me in the ass now.
The ONLY thing I used from your posts is how you feel that at 15 you're more likely to get a hernia. That's all I used. After that, I proceeded to state that I feel...THAT I FEEL...that you're just as likely at any age. Since I feel that this is true, if I went based off your logic (the "you might get a hernia" logic) then that would be saying don't do squats. However, I've been squatting since my freshman year of highschool, on and off of course. I've yet to have any problems...
No hernias.
I know hundreds of kids from many highschools around the city who have been squatting since their freshman year..and I've only heard of ONE problem...
A 120lb kid from a local school got dared to squat 540lbs. He got down, never got back up. Crushed 12th vertebre.
Moral of the story? Don't be f*cking stupid. Did he get a hernia? No. However, he did something that there was no way in hell he was going to be able to pull off, and hurt himself. That's USUALLY how injuries happen when lifting. Rarely do you see somebody get injured while squatting within their strength limits with proper form. I still don't understand where you get all this "At 15 you're more likely to get a hernia just by squatting" stuff.
