You'll hear different opinions from people about this. Personally I feel that kids should not begin a regular weight lifting program until they are about 15 years old. Before that age, kids that lift weights run the risk of damaging the "growth plate" in their bones. (That doesn't sound like fun, does it?)

I started working out weight lifting taking Marshal arts in the third grade I would wait a while work out and build your body so when you do start you will have less chance of being hurt .side note my arms don't straighten out all the way both knees messed up.get strong core through push ups resistance exercise ect.

you need to wait until you are done growing. if you lift weights when your muscles are still developing and growing, it will cause serious damage to them in the future.

the younger you are the less weight you would want to work with so maybe 8.
