What age to start

[Pear]

Hi Mark,

I'll have SS 2nd Ed for Christmas (requested gift) and am pretty pumped about getting into it.

I haven't seen anything questions on this so far so I was wondering in terms of just wanting to gain general strength, what is the earliest age you recommend a kid (boys) start lifting?

Thanks

We have started kids as young as 6. Whenever they think it's fun.
