13 or 7th grade is old enough to start resistance training.

Pretty much anyone can lift weights, but only people who are almost finished or have finished growing already should lift heavy weights.

I see nothing wrong with a seven-year-old lifting 1 pound dumbbells just for fun.

+16, unless you want to stop growing taller.
