No article posted, so I can't do anything yet.

I am in favor of strength and conditioning training for youngsters, but not weight lifting. Push ups, pull ups, squat thrusts, abdominal exercises etc.
The cartilage in the joints is not fully formed in youngsters and I would be reluctant to over-stress the joints with heavy lifting until the child has grown to near full height (17 or 18 years old).
