Answers:
Teen years!. So, high school!.
Before that, his bone structure + tendons/ligaments just aren't mature enough to handle actual weight training!.
Give him at least 3 years (I'd say not until 16, even) or so, and by then his body will be ready for it!. Plus, he'll be producing ample amounts of testosterone by then, and the weight training will have far more effect!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Proffessionals recommend an average age of 18 as it allows the body to fully develop properly and not hinder growth!. Everyone is different though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
well i have a 15 year old who does it for golf!. I think that age is fine, but in my opinion 10 is too young, wait atleast 2-3 more years!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
