In this episode of The Jordan Syatt Mini-Podcast, I take a question from a listener about strength training for their teenage son and use it as a platform to discuss training for teens (and kids in general) with my podcast producer, Tony.
I talk about when children can start strength training, how I used strength training as a teen to build confidence with my wrestling, how parents can set a positive example and support their teens in health and fitness, and why "fun" should be the focus at a young age.
I also talk about how unrealistic body image standards for men are often overlooked and dangerous, why winning at all costs isn't the answer, and when to intervene as a parent if there is a toxic coach or authority figure in their life.
I hope you enjoy this episode and, if you do, please leave a review on iTunes (huge thank you to everyone who has written one so far).
Finally, if you've been thinking about joining The Inner Circle but haven't yet... we have hundreds of home and bodyweight workouts for you and you can get them all here: www.sfinnercircle.com.
