    My 2 yr old son does 2 reps (pretty much unassisted).
    Not sure whether it’s good for him at this age, but whenever he see me doing then he insists that he gets on it.

    Teach him the clean n jerk and make a fortune out of him when he becomes 21.

    Oly lifters don't make crap in the USA. You want money? Teach him, how to play an 'American' sport ie Football, Baseball, Basketball.

    I don't like doing high rep pullups... with the huge range of motion involved with the movement it's very fatigueing, I'm usually light headed after a set.

    teaching him that lift would lead him to be explosive......hence football hoops and baseball

    Dont know about making a fortune, but as he grows, if he shows real interest then definetly I will do my best to bring out the talent in him.

    Yes, I would like to see him playing more sports. I didnt have enough opportunity to excel on anything other than academic (i was forced to...), I will not do that to my children.

    You have a better chance at making more of yourself with an education then trying to be a professional athlete.

    Sports are meant to be fun. If they are good enough to go anywhere, it won't be because of what the parents did. Just let them have fun.
