Reply to "When to start lifting"

Coachld, I appreciate the comments and the links to the scientific studies. It was similar information that allowed me to evaluate the conflicting information on this topic and get comfortable with allowing my son to begin strength training before he turned 12. He has been training under the same professional trainer in a semi-private environment for the last 10 months and we couldn't be happier with the results. While the focus is always on performing the exercises and lifts with the proper form, he has been encouraged to increase the amount he is lifting as long as he is doing the exercises correctly. He has become bigger, faster, and stronger, which I truly believe has also helped him stay injury free. Our experience is consistent with your comments on the benefits of a professional strength training program
