Body weight stuff at that point imo.
Maybe some very light curls so he feels like he's building his arms up.
There is no way I would have ever guessed you were overweight. That is a very impressive turn around!Also, when did I think it's ok to let my own son train with weights?
Not until Jr high when they started with them in football and such so 7th grade.
My son has zero interest in going to the gym so, I haven't taken him personally. I don't think it's healthy to push things like weight training on your kids unless they do show interest.
General health, yes. Staying active and TRYING to get them to eat healthier choices of food is always on my mind especially since I was very over weight most of my life. 5'4 280lbs in Jr high was no fun. Worse then 300+ in 2009 like I was even.
Think we will start with this. They are twins and should work out well. One will always try to outdo the other.Body weight stuff at that point imo.

My oldest boy was obsessed with socks. I was outside his window in the winter and found a pile of socks frozen to the ground. I was like wtf socks dude? use your damn hand a piece of ass does not feel like a sock!There is research showing certain nutrition in Pre pubescent boys will jump start or increase testosterone production during puberty. I’d focus on nutrition and push ups, cardio. Then when they when puberty hits start throwing weights around with them. My boy is 5 and he is always flexing on me.....and grabbing his junk. He’s obsessed with his weiner lol
Wow bro, I’m impressed man...I’m like fucking proud of you dude!! Now I understand the dedication you have. You’re good dude keep up the hard work!!Also, when did I think it's ok to let my own son train with weights?

I do not understand. They are 10. You are their father. Are they buying their own Lucky Charms and flipping you off and eating it when you try to feed them eggs and oats? I am a little lost. Do they tie you up, steal the car keys and your wallet, and drive to the store to buy Tortino's Pizza?What they eat I'm trying to work on. They are out for summer and eat crap all day. They want to totinos pizza once a day along with a dose of ramen and no telling how many bowls of lucky charms they go through a day. Luckily they have the genetics to eat crap and stay around 7% or lower for one of the twins.
I keep healthy choices around for them to eat. I have tried not buying crap food then they stop eating and try to live on cereal. Except for breakfast and dinner, meals I'm in charge of, they continue to eat terrible.

Its a long story but long story short their mom. My ex wife. They all live with me but she buys this crap to give them and their teenage sisters. I once had control now fucked up and gave part of that back. Trying to fix that but easier said than done.I do not understand. They are 10. You are their father.

I am wondering if lifting heavy weights at a young age has an effect on their height as they get into puberty.
<---- And that's all I have to say about that! I empathize.Its a long story but long story short their mom. My ex wife.

My boys are interested in lifting but is 10 too young? I cant see any harm unless they go too much on their tendons and ligaments. Any input on this?

The one that really wants to lift already swims.I would encourage swimming instead of lifting weights.

Both are already in TKD. lolGreat. A martial art then. Something like judo or BJJ would teach discipline and hierarchy. Weights after 16. Another good sport for youngsters is rowing.
I lived outside at that age could not get me in the house for nothing. Alot of kids today just want to play video games and watch YouTube. Crazy how society and kids are changing. Seems to me getting lazier and lazier. When I was a teen I had a paper route, washed cars, shoveled snow etc anything I could do to make a dollar. I offer kids 100 bucks a day to come help me out and I cant get one to show up.I do not think 10 is too young at all. I started working out at that age and didn't have any trouble infact grew up being told I was "stout" and "barrel chested" so maybe it was a good choice. Just like you said make sure they aren't lifting real heavy and also they do cardio stuff like running, riding bikes, just running and playing outside stuff.
