When to start lifting

Tug Tide1,000+ posts

A little background on my 2022. He just turned 14, is a hair under 6’2”, weighed 165 around Christmas. He played JV ball last summer before 8th grade and fall after the school year started. He’s throwing FB at 71-74.

For the past 2 years he has been regularly doing band workouts and just started the Jaeger program. This coming fall when he hits HS he will taking a weightlifting class with Asst. Coach. I’m considering starting him now to get a little head start on the fall. Other than the bands he hasn’t done any lifting, but is what you call “Country Strong”.

Would you start him now, or let him wait until fall?
