I started at 11, but begged for weights years before that. Problem was, back then iron weights were $$$ and the Sears we went to had all busted up cement weights (plasti-coated), so I had to 'weight' (har har).
So at 11 years old I couldn't tell you what I weighed, but my weight set was 104 pounds and I could not bench it, dropped to my chest and had to let the weights slide off. I think I benched 85 pounds successfully.
My barber was a national level guy and his wife competed also, and my friends dad was also a lifter. That would have been early 80s. The barber shop was Blood, Sweat and Shears, I saw it a few months ago.
