He weighs 300 pounds and already specializes in strongman 470 pounds at 14 years old.

他體重 300 磅，14 歲時就已經專攻 strongman，能舉起 470 磅。

Hey, folks, Dr. Mike here for RP Strength.

嘿，各位觀眾，我是 RP Strength 的 Dr. Mike。

I'm good at some stuff and some stuff I'm not any good at, but whatever.

我有些東西很厲害，有些東西我不太行，但不管怎樣都好。

Professor of exercise science, bodybuilding competitor, jiu jitsu, grappler, stuff I have going on ain't nothing compared to today's focus.

運動科學教授、健美選手、柔術、摔角手，我這些經歷跟今天的主題比起來根本不算什麼。

And that's a Mr. Bubba Pritchett, son of Mr. Jerry Pritchett.

而今天的主角是 Mr. Bubba Pritchett，Mr. Jerry Pritchett 的兒子。

Jerry Pritchett is a legendary strongman competitor who I've seen in real life from afar as a single safe with these people at the Arnold.

Jerry Pritchett 是位傳奇的健力選手，我在 Arnold 大賽時遠遠地看過他本人，當時我跟一群人在一起。

I didn't really understand how someone could occupy that much visual space all at the same time.

我當時真的不明白，一個人怎麼能同時佔據那麼大的視覺空間。

I think Jerry Pritchett's in the 65 range and weighs like 400 pounds.

我猜 Jerry Pritchett 大約是 65 公斤級，體重大概 400 磅。

No, I was actually 5ft tall even when I was 14.

不，我 14 歲的時候其實身高 5 呎。

He weighs 300 pounds and already specializes in strongman.

他體重 300 磅，而且已經專攻 strongman 了。

Let's learn things about him and we're gonna have a pretty informative episode for you guys about all the things involving the collision of lifting weights and children.

我們來聊聊關於他的事情，這集節目會帶給大家很多關於舉重和小孩相關的知識。

Meet Bubba, aka the strongest teenager in the world.

來認識 Bubba，也就是世界上最強的青少年。

At only 14, he set numerous records in strongman competitions.

他才 14 歲，就在 strongman 比賽中創下無數紀錄。

Yeah, I mean, I just wonder what his school age children, friends think of this.

是啊，我只是很好奇他學校裡的朋友們對這件事有什麼看法。

There's like beef at the movie theater and the kids from the other high school is there and someone gets pushed and they're like, hey, they have an adult giant strongman on their team.

就像電影院裡有壯漢，而且其他高中的小孩也在那裡，有人被推了一下，他們就會說，嘿，他們隊上有個像巨人一樣的 adult strongman。

It's not something you could eat other 14 year olds if you're his size.

以他的體型來說，這不是你能去吃掉其他 14 歲小孩的事。

I guess to me sociologically, it must be a little interesting to be that unique, Scott, you know what I mean?

我猜對我來說，從社會學的角度來看，能這麼獨特一定有點意思，Scott，你懂我的意思嗎？

Like when I was 14, I was like below average and everything.

就像我 14 歲的時候，我算是矮小的，什麼都比不上。

But you can't be going raking records at 14 without it affecting your swag a little bit.

但你不能在 14 歲就打破紀錄，這會影響你一點點的自信。

Like, and like he's walking through middle school and he's bigger than all the teachers.

就像，他走在國中裡，比所有老師都還高大。

You're like middle school eating middle school children.

你就像國中生在吃國中生一樣。

The teacher's like, hey, hey, Bubba, get your homework done.

老師就會說，嘿，嘿，Bubba，把你的功課做完。

Well, actually, I'll do your homework for you.

So makes sense from an elite strongman perspective.

所以從精英健力選手的角度來看，這很合理。

All right, so at nine years old, Bubba weighed a paltry, dare I say near anorexic, 250 pounds.

好的，所以九歲的時候，Bubba 體重只有可憐的，我敢說接近厭食的 250 磅。

Oh, IJK man, it looks like he weighs about 252.

喔，拜託，看起來他體重大概是 252。

So yeah, he probably weighed about 200 pounds then, huh?

所以啊，他那時候大概體重 200 磅，對吧？

So he's deadlifting 250 pounds at nine years old.

所以他九歲的時候硬舉 250 磅。

I'm gonna see the lift and I'm gonna comment on it.

我要看這次舉重，然後我會評論。

10 years old, he's now deadlifting 275 pounds.

305 pounds at 11 years old, Scott, look at his face and Overall body at 11.

11歲就305磅，Scott，看看他11歲時的臉和整體身材。

That's an adult lifting at that point for sure.

Let's talk about a few things with children and lifting weights very young.

我們來聊聊小孩很小就開始舉重的一些事情。

You may have heard of the fact that if you lift when you're a kid and you lift too young, that your still unfused and active growth plates will fuse and close and you won't grow as tall as you could because of the high forces.

你可能聽說過，如果小孩太早舉重，還沒癒合的生長板會癒合關閉，因為高強度訓練，你就不會長到你原本能長的高度。

Every time they analyze any amount of evidence with young lifters, which are actually all around the world in sport of weightlifting and now the sport of strongman, they find zero detectable relationship between youth lifting onset and height relative to predictive factors from parents or compared to peers.

每次他們分析年輕舉重者（其實遍佈全世界的舉重運動和現在的strongman運動）的任何證據時，都會發現青少年舉重開始時間與身高（相較於父母的預測因素或同儕）之間，沒有任何可偵測的關聯。

So when you're saying something and there's not really any evidence for it, and

所以當你說出一些沒有實際證據支持，

almost all the evidence goes against it, you have a problem, but the problem deepens still mechanistically.

而且幾乎所有證據都與之相反的說法時，這就有問題了，但問題在機制上更深。

You say high forces cause growth plates to close.

你說高強度力量會讓生長板關閉。

The problem is, is that jumping up and down, like to have any kid have them jump as high as they can and land a few times, you'll notice that humans invented a game called basketball where they do only that those forces that go into the vertebrae of the spine of the long bones of the body are multiples higher than the Maximum forces imposed into the bones compared to when you lift weights straight up.

問題在於，像是讓任何小孩盡可能地跳高然後著地幾次，你會發現人類發明瞭一種叫做籃球的運動，他們就只做這件事，而脊椎骨和身體長骨所承受的這些力量，遠遠高於舉重時施加在骨頭上的最大力量。

Landing forces from jumping are higher than almost anything you can do in the gym.

跳躍時的著地力量，幾乎比你在健身房能做的任何事都還要高。

So why aren't people who jump up and down a lot like basketball players much shorter than the people they compared with that aren't?

那麼，為什麼像籃球員這樣經常跳來跳去的人，不會比他們比較對象中那些不常跳的人矮很多呢？

Because it turns out, in order to screw up your growth plates and prevent yourself from getting taller, you generally need a gnarly injury like a broken bone or some crazy stuff like that.

因為事實證明，要想弄壞你的生長板並阻止你長高，通常需要像骨折那樣嚴重的傷害，或是其他瘋狂的事情。

And then there is a potential that the growth plate gets screwed up and you're in a bad way and you don't get to be as tall as other folks.

而且，生長板可能會受損，讓你狀況不佳，長不高。

And maybe you need some surgery to correct that.

So the reality is, the idea that children can't lift weights without affecting their height is seemingly more and more likely every year that we do research on it to be just something someone made up.

所以事實上，我們對兒童不能舉重，否則會影響身高的想法，隨著研究的深入，似乎越來越有可能只是人們隨口說說的。

Which, by the way, the world in your own head and my own head is filled with quote unquote facts that are really notions of just somebody made the shit up.

順帶一提，我們腦袋裡充斥著所謂的事實，但其實很多都只是別人隨便編造出來的。

And we are going along with it with no end in sight.

而我們卻深信不疑，而且似乎沒完沒了。

That's really the deal on height and lifting weights.

這就是關於身高和舉重的一切。
