weights for kids?

[intensityjunkie]

My son is 11and thinks he wants to w/o like me. Is it ok for someone that young to lift weights? are there any videos for kids with weights? something basic/easy. Are protein shakes ok for kids?

I read before that weights at that age are too young that there bones are not fully developed yet...as long as he active at this age that all I would do. I would not start any weights with my son till he is about 16 years old. Both my kids drink protein shakes...I don't see anything wrong with them.

I think that you may want to avoid protein shakes with soy in them.

Light weights would probably be ok, but light weights aren't really going to help him get bulk.
