I have a 10 yr old that wants to start lifting weights. Is that too young?

Have him keep doing push ups and sit ups. That’s plenty

As long as his form is correct and you make sure he isn't ego lifting, it's fine

Lighter weight yes but I wouldn’t do any exercises that load the spine at that age.

I told my kids bodyweight first. Once they show good form and habits on squats, push ups, dips etc

I think there are thousands of kids who grew up on farms who would say go for it
