Well my son has started to hit the a gym here and there. I only take him when he wants to go. I don't force him or Make him go. I feel if I force him at this age he may not like it and see it more has a punishment. If it's his choice it puts in the effort better. BUT when we are at the GYM. We are there to TRAIN. We don't play around. He is good for about 30min before he is burnt out.
Stats..9yr, 4th Grade.. 60lbs roughly
He plays Soccer all year, Basketball and Baseball.
What we have worked on so far.
Squats - Has an issue with Bar placement on back.
Deadlifts - Getting pretty good at these
Bench - Improving fast and getting better contol
Curls - Curls for the Girls
Box Jumps - Mastered
Standing Long Jumps - Mastered
Pull ups -a struggle, but getting there
ABs - Mastered
I got him his own Barbell. Quickly found on the 45lb BB is to much to start with on Bench and Squats.
I started him with a OSO Mini Bar that weighs 5lbs and has a 22mm grip. Has marker rings and takes normal 2in plates. This was a big help on Bench and Squats.
On Deadlifts we have a 6ft bar that weighs 30lbs. Started with it and are now using a Texas DL Bar. He has got the DL down pretty good. Has a slight lean forward I'm working on with him.
