Contrary to popular belief, lifting weights while you are still growing does not stunt growth. It was believed that breaking a bone could damage the ends of the bones that are still growing, but this is not the case. Strength training has only benefits, if done correctly, whether you are young or old.

- Because of the skeletal immaturity of an 11-year-old, it is not advisable that they train with weights. My recommendation is to play regular sports to develop all-around fitness, plus co-ordination, and wait until age sixteen (or at least 15).

Go for many repetitions rather than really heavy weights. I would limit myself to 15 to 20 pound weights, if I were you.
