what is the youngest age I should start bodybuilding?

When i was told to buy 5-10-15-20 pound dumbells can i just buy 2 or 3 of them they cost all together $45 and i don't have a income source so i only have like $30  and I don't Know when i will have more, it could be 2 weeks or 2 months maybe longer.
 
Oh and can i sort of make a bench by adding padding to a regular bench or somthing?

My opinion might not be what you want to hear but at 13-14 I would rather play some sport outside or be more in my school thing than being in a gym lifting weight.

I don't want to be rude, but there is a time for everything, at your age, play some sports, be active outside and eat right. You'll save money and you will enjoy the summer !

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

ok my idea was kind of out ther any way.

MMMMMM................Hey is there a workout schedule I might find.I can't go to the gym becase I'm only 12 right now but I want to start to get some muscle instead of fat.I'm pretty tall for my age though I look as tall as a 15 year old.(sort of)

You can weight lift at any age. What you do need to do is get instruction from an expert....not just some kid you know who seems strong. All you need right now is to do the basics. So here is a list and a link that will show you propper form, I will also list the order in which to do them.
 
Monday
squat 4x10-12 reps
SLDL 3x10-12 reps
standing calf raise 3x10-15 reps

Tue. Day off


Wednesday
Bench press 3x10
Incline press 3x10
military press 3x10
tricep extensions 3x10

Thurs. Day off

Friday
Dead lift 3x10 reps
Dumbell rows 3x10
Lat pull downs 3x10
curls 3x10

Sat and Sun Off

This is just a basic traing program idea.

If you can't go to a gym (because of your age), what kind of equipment would you be using for weightlifting?

Why???

If you can bench press more than you can squat you should be ashamed.

bcause you can get stronger without hurting yourself at a young age using freeweights

Why would you think weight lifting will hurt a person?

if you are too young its not healthy but he can do whatever he wants but thats what i did when i was younger to prepare bcause my dad wouldnt let me lift at a young age cause apparently you can screw up your body lifting at too young of an age

Untrue, it is healthy to lift at any age. The body is more prone to injury from running and jumping and little kids do that all the time.

If you can bench press more than you can squat you should be ashamed.

ok u seem like you know alot
Do u think i could start taking creatine at my age? 15 and half?

If you want, but I see no reason for supplements in your teens.....except a good milti vitamin/mineral.
