It's a resonable time to start working on familiarization with weight training. The trouble starts when young kids are pushed to make gains or (worse) try to "max out"...which with kids usually occurs each time they go to the gym with friends.

Any more, I think most of the work out should be about handling body weight (push-up/pull-up/lunging...) and core strengthening...some barbell/dumbell stuff but no H.S. superhero BS like "200 lb bench press club". Unless you're into competitve power lifting or olympic lifting, those numbers are for dudes/dudettes with self-esteem issues. As always, YMMV.
