Squat/overhead press/deadlift with my son this morning. He's making progress. Slowly. He'd make more if he wasn't running so many miles to get ready for cross country this fall. He needs to eat more.

You should bulk instead and become a 15 stone man like me and @Mr_83. This forum needs more 15 stone men and less twinks.

210 solid ass pounds. You're a prime candidate to become a 15 stone man.

From what age do you think it’s safe for boys to start getting into lifting? I thought it was necessary to wait until all bones had fused or joint injuries could occur but not sure if that’s a wive’s tale.

I’ve heard this stated by random people more times than I can count over the years. But I don’t think I’ve ever read or heard it from a credible source. 🤷🏼

As a matter of fact, it seems like most of the credible sources out there seem to agree that it’s safe for kids to get into lifting as long as they’re being supervised by an adult who knows what they’re doing.

One of the best arguments I’ve ever seen on this topic goes like this: “Nobody bats an eye or asks about kids’ “growth plates” when they’re banging into each other playing football. But all of a sudden, when they start lifting weights, it’s a problem.”

I've heard it a bunch, too, and that is pretty much where I've landed.

I think it's fine for any kid that wants to, but I wouldn't push one younger than 14 or 15 into it. Not because I'm worried about injuries, I just think they're better off running and playing when they're young. Above that age I encourage it for general health and strength. Especially if they want to do competitive athletics.

Dassit meng. I train my nephew and bring him with me every workout. He does absolutely great but sometimes I wish he'd put his phone away and eat better. What do I know after 32 years of training compared to social media though lol.

Fair. Where I’m from kids start MMA or some combat sport from age 5 but I don’t think I’m going to start them on that, or as serious a version of it, and they won’t be doing rugby union or league either as there’s apparently a big CTE risk, they can do football/soccer
