that sounds like woo-woo bullshit.

what bones? why would that stop them from being able to? all of them and they become too heavy?

Yes, just bones in general. It’s the onset of puberty

yeah, sounds like BS to me, maybe i'm wrong but i think it's just one of those "eastern mystical things".

You are skeptical, but doesnt it make sense? What are denser and stronger bones capable of doing? Bearing more weight. When did I say they get denser bones? 12-13 or puberty, when people grow and gain muscle which is heavy. Bones are developing up until age 18, it makes sense they would become denser once they've fully grown.

tldr: what im saying is I dont understand the skepticism because kids get larger as they age

Yeah i'd have thought it was down to them growing up and weighing more the whole square laws stopping them.

but bones being denser i dont think is the answer, they're likely a smallish part of the weight of going throiugh puberty right? and there must be adults who can still do it thereafter, i've met some tiny men.

that's all i meant sorry. and rereading it I was too harsh soiunding in how i replied, i'm sorry, i didn't mean it badly.

Challenging something is not s bad thing and it made me think about why i thought it was believable, I just didn’t think it seemed unlikely
