My 11 year old son is using starter pack. For exercises in H1, how heavy should the weight he uses be?

My tweener is using 3 lbs (~1.3 kg) and calling it good.   It's more important to me that he pays attention to form, being consistent (as much as you would expect from a tweener) and listening to his body.   My kiddo does another sport so I think for him it's more about building good habits (he does F1 &H1).

How would you suggest he sets up the weights? How could we build a bar or something?

I'm using a 4 foot piece of black pipe from the hardware store.   it weighs right around 3lbs and is just the right size to slide 1 inch/standard (non-olympic) weight plates onto for additional loading.

Thanks! Also considering ankle weights

versatile, portable, easy to remove and add.

Is 2 pounds okay?

vannybute

not on each weight, total.

Don't over think it.  He's 11.    2 pounds is great if he's working consistently.

Kay. Thanks!

Curious, where in F and H are your kids/kid?
