I read a report that was in Men’s Fitness not that long ago that they had a study that debunked a lot of the myth. The doctors involved said that by the age of twelve kids are fine to start lifting weights. That bone growth wasn’t the issue it was more about hand eye coordination and form that were the reason for injuries in young athletes.https://www.mensjournal.com/health-fitness/how-young-too-young-start-lifting-weights/Kids honestly shouldn't touch weights till 16 years old.
Push ups and lunges yes. They can start those early.
When you lift weights it CAN begin to slow your bone growth and make it more dense resulting in you not reaching your full potential.

That’s partially true….. if you don’t have good form than it will lead to injuries…. Which is why I always workout with my son….. he does every exercise the right way.I read a report that was in Men’s Fitness not that long ago that they had a study that debunked a lot of the myth.
