Experience teaches you many things MM.
Better to learn too from other peoples mistakes...
Good for your son; It shows the kid has heart.(and he's self-motivated)
But,
Oftentimes Less is More! Especially with weights...
Plus, its an Ego thing, wanting to Jack-Up a lot of weight!
My Power lifting buddies are Strong, but they all got shoulder/back/knee problems.
I don't really see the Functionality of Benching 450 pounds or Squating 700.
I do really see the joint problems associated...
I've stayed pretty much Injury free by using good form, and reasonable weight poundages.
heres two pieces of good advice I got early on:
"If you want to be great, you have to Learn to Like the Pain"
&
"Settle down kid! You're going to live longer than you realize"
