91 lb. 9 year old GIRL Squats 205

[MAYO]

I grew up on the African Sahara. By the age of 3 I was an accomplished lion hunter, the film "Ghost and the Darkness" was based on my exploits. I went on to become a captain of industry and currently hold patents on such goods as the microwave and doorknobs. Powerlifting was actually a term coined by the Pope after watching me train in the Vatican gym.........sound rediculous? So does this thread. If you got a kid, raise them how you see fit. If you don't, quit watching videos of little girls lifting, fucking perverts.

Now there is a voice of reason.

This is rediculous to let a child train with amounts of weight like this. She'll be hurt and damaged soon. Just wish they'd been educated before doing this to their little focused child. Sad really.

Really? And what is the "rediculous" thing that we did to her? Any weight at all? Or is there just a certain point at which we should have told her that she couldn't lift any more because it is "rediculous"? And is that amount the same for everyone or are all little girls the same basic strength? Are you even a parent?

i am but seeing as how i haven't yet gotten to the stage of parenting you are at i am going to just say i am glad you are closely monitoring her. my daughter(3) likes to pick up a bunch of heavy shit too.... ofcourse then she likes to throw it..... at me usually

like i said i couldn't pass judgement even if i wanted to. i agree with MAYO though, each parent has their own style. i wish i had gotten started lifting earlier in life. maybe not nine but definitely by early teens. then i might not have done so much dumb shit

... I'm going with jealous. Seriously. A while back a video made its way around a bunch of these boards of a 10 year old boy SLAUGHTERING other kids on a wrestling mat. The kid was a bad ass. People hooted and hollered about how great it was. But a girl around the same age clearly in control of the weight is sad? Go on and educate on old wives tales of growth plates fusing and destroyed knees..... google Richard Sandrak..... the 4 year old hercules..... look for a picture of him now. The guy is like 6' tall in his teens and still in shape.... not walking on a cane from all the stuff he did as a kid. Seriously, have you ever seen a kid play at that age? The kids across the street from me jump down from a ~9' tree branch like its no big deal every time I walk over there ( buddies with their dad... don't get any ideas)
I can think of hundreds of jumps from a tree, falls from my bike, heavy objects lifted with no technique as a kid and my knees are fine. Enough hating on a 9 year old girl.
