What's the earliest a person should lift. 5? I'd imagine

Depends on your time zone

Depends on what your sleep pattern is like

Bumping for some serious replies, I'm actually curious about this too. My gymbro has a 6 y/o and It'd be sick to turn him into a sik cunt by the time he's 8.

idk like 13 is when you can actually make gains right or is it earlier?

Dude you can't get gains at fucking 8 years old.

I was a Junior Olympian in gymnastics when I was 12 years old. I had a 8 pack you could see through a loose fitting tee-shirt, but I was a complete stick figure everywhere else. So was everyone else there except for the three guys who were competing for nationals. They were 17 and they were big, but no one under the age of 16 was.

How long did you do gymnastics for?

As for OP, don't bother putting the kid on weights yet. Just keep him physically active.

Swimming from 5 to 10
Gymnastics from 10 to 16
Lifting from 16+

A friend of mine started at 14, by the end of high school he looked like a Greek god. He was pretty tall though, I think the main thing is that lifting weights is said to stunt growth

Have him do push-ups and pullups, bodyweight

If you have him use weights it can damage his growth plates and then he'll be a deformed manlet
