Realistically, at what age should a person start lifting?

>>39464254
Cardio/body weight things (basically playing) from 9 and weightlifting from 14.

15~25

except i would say go easy from 14, dont go into a heavy linear strength program right away.
that might impair growth.

i feel like after 18 you can start go really heavy and focus on dem dere gain5

The only correct answer.

Whenever you start puberty is when you start lifting.

>>39464522
18 is too late imo, especially if you could be interested in going into cmopetition, even at low levels

I'd start the cardio and bodyweight stuff even earlier. I was playing freeze tag and racing kids up and down the big hill in my friend's back yard from age 4-5ish and using my arms to pull myself up for tree climbing at an age not too much more than that. I would actually weight to begin weights until 15 or 16, and focus on a really glacially slow progression with emphasis on training different aspects like power, strength, muscle endurance, and size.

yeah kids need to develop a good body sense/awareness with calisthenics and sports/playing/martial arts. Once they hit puberty they need to hit the weights.

>>39464522
Linear progression made me grow, no joke, an inch to my height. And like 4 inches to my waist. But worth it.

I wish at age 14 I knew the shit I know at age 18

No, nigga, that's from birth.

Even toddlers do cardio and body weight things. Actually, it's all the do, until they learn, they can also nibble on stuff and get their parents to react in different ways.

t. a guy who's taken his son to the gym since the first trimester, with only 3 weeks off post brith.

Little kid loves playing with rope pulldowns, learned to change the weight himself.

Also, kids are stronger than you give them credit for. They just don't see the point of using more than 30% during playtime and only use more if they're pissed off.

But yeah, actual weight training? 12-14, depending on when puberty hits.
If my son takes after me, it'll be 14. But he looks more like my brother than me (his hands and his buid), so the little guy might start shaving at 10.

Kek ok cuck

Train for fun, with light weight to learn the movements before puberty. After that go nuts.
