What age to start training

[justhell]

heres my son at the gym with me last year some time at 8 years old.

but after 2 weeks they told me hes too young to come.(safety?)

Just as an aside...

Two 15 year old rugby players started training at Eastside 8 weeks ago. No previous weight training experience. Both can now:

- bench bodyweight for 10 reps;

- deadlift 1.5 times bodyweight for 10 reps;

- squat 1.5 times boyweight for 10 reps.

That's the highlight of my year so far.

Good stuff

are they over 5 foot tall yet?

Lean them up against the wall and mark their heights and in 5 years time we will check and see if it stunted there growth!

They tower above me. But then again most people do except Pete and Pete Jnr.
