[ancient_magpie]

He is 17 turns 18 in July do they have on weights already I've no idea anybody know.

At least I got an answer even if it makes little sense

If he has t started by now, someone’s dropped the ball.

Does that mean he's to young

No it's means if he hasn't started working in the gym yet ....the Tigers deserved a big ikick in the ass

I have zero inside knowledge but based upon experience, I suspect he would have started resistance type training for strength gain 6 or so years ago and then weights for muscle growth from around 15 onwards.

He would have been lifting weights for union

Im not sure when structured gym seshs begin in jnr reps, maybe about SG Ball...I know some of our more talented rep level players would do their own weights training in off season and year round even from about 15 years old
Holy Cross college has a gym used by their older players
