My son just turned 13 in September. We started lifting together about 2 months ago. Little shit is going to be taking plates off for me by the time he's 15!
He's 5'7" 141lbs (was 152 before football conditioning). He started out comfortably benching about 90lbs. Last week he was benching 130 for reps.
We are schooling alot on form, form, form at the moment. He is coming along nicely (all weights and body parts)....little shit has better genetics than I do! Not pressing him on his diet at this point because he never stops eating and his test levels are the normal greasy sweaty pimply (easily embarrassed) teen boy!
What are your thoughts on a 13 year old dead lifting and squatting (with excellent form and about 60-70% 1RM? The old school Weider guys say not to do Deads & squats as a teen.....all thoughts and or oppinions are appreciated!
