That is a good question, and to assuage my wife's worries over the very same thing, I went digging through the literature for some conclusive data on the subject.
The short version is this: young men should wait until the onset of puberty to begin resistance training. Once the body starts producing testosterone at the rate necessary for the changes that take place during puberty, introducing weight training is fine.
The advantage here is that teaching a young man while he is still in his early teens, often mitigates the 'I already know it all' response so common after the age of 15 or 16.
Proper form is the first, and most important lesson of weight training. Get that right and you can grow to your genetic potential with much lower risk of injury.
I'll start him out on ASC for the first month of summer break, then move on to the student-related titles.
