EUGENIZATION.

…or too small to start weight training. Just follow Aditya Dev’s example (courtesy Daily Mail UK):

Too bad his trainer has him lifting no more than 1.5 kg (3.3 lb) dumbbells, but I suppose it’s warranted as his total body weight is a mere 9kg (just under 20 lbs).

Let’s perform some calculations to see how you measure up:

If you weigh 135 lbs, that would be equivalent to two 22.25 lb dumbbells overhead.

If you weigh 165 lbs, that would be equivalent to two 30 lb dumbbells overhead.

If you weigh 200 lbs, that would be equivalent to two 33 lb dumbbells overhead.

Not bad, but not great for two years of strength training under his belt. I can’t help but think of how his gains would skyrocket with some well-loaded squats and deadlifts.
