teckno05 is on a distinguished road
My little brother is following me exactly. I think now he deadlifts 230lbs weighing 125 at 13 years old. I tell him to go lighter but he lifts heavy when I'm not around, after reading some of that I'm going to crack down on him harder to lighten the weights perfect the form and maybe bump volume.

I think weightlifting for 14 and under should be enjoyable, fun, and safe. They should be experimenting with what exercises feel best for them, working to get a pump, finding a "mind muscle connection". Not lifting as if they're life depended on it, working through pain, or doing widowmakers on a leg press.
