It is not recommend for a 12-year-olds to perform weightlifting, because it will not increase/enlarge their muscle. It MAY gain some strength, but not very significant. He/she should wait until he/she becomes 16. ..... It is all depends on that 12-year-old's strength and mostly on willpower. That child should start at 1 lbs and then progress 2, 3, 4 to 5 lbs or more.
