[quote=Anonymous]I'd check the media he is consuming, because there's a lot of really toxic fitness stuff directed at boys too. Supplements weights, that kind of thing. I wouldn't let a boy that young lift weights, he's too likely to hurt himself. If he wants definition in his arms and abs in a healthy manner, he should consider swimming or rock climbing. But I would talk to him about media, how the look some of those men have is unnatural (steroids) and the health side effects of some of those powders and "supplements" they push. How young boys and teenagers don't have as much muscle mass and that's normal and expected.[/quote]
