Sounds like he has had his growth spurt, so i would say now is a good time to start. My 5'11", 140 lb. 14yo just started a few mos. ago. Some people I've talked to believe that you have to go light on the weights till after you've shot up. Make sure he also pays attention to his diet. Lots of good food, and by that I mean fruits and vegetables as well as protein. My kids have trouble putting on any weight, so I'd pack them huge lunches with healthy snacks in them that they can eat during the day.
