Believe what you want but my kid looks like he lifts and he doesn't. He sprints and gains muscle.
I'm not talking about 400m training. Get him to run the 40 10 times in the evening.

All he can do is eat more.
And the basics of calisthenics:
1. Pushup
2. Pullup
3. Dip
4. Pistol Squat
5. Inverted Row
6. Leg Raises

Have a conversation with his physician. I know you want to do what's best for him.

Every 10 year old soccer player worth his salt is skinny. Lots of peanut butter and whole milk. If he's worried about not being strong enough get him on some body weight exercises designed to strengthen his core, that's if he wants to thicken up.

I would say 15. 10 is very young kind of ridiculous

Not necessarily. Look at the amount of sugar and carbs in some protein shakes. It's astonishing

Then feed him more protein through lean meats, tell him to eat a pb&j before bed with a glass of milk. He's growing and needs real food don't overcomplicate this and start buying him supplements and put him on a lifting program.

That lower center of gravity those smaller kids have helps them when it's close combat, I think he just wants to be more durable and a little thicker. This post was edited on 4/5 at 10:36 am
There is a book nicknamed the body weight bible. Look it up and let him start doing their workout routines. That and a high protein diet will thicken him up and make him stronger and quicker. It also lists all the exercises and describes what muscles they work.

That sounds like genetics and sprints are probably not too much to do with it. Its a pretty simple equation of calories in to calories out (through metabolism and exercise). The kid obviously has a high resting metabolic rate along with fact that he is active. He simply needs more calories. This can be achieved through food or protein powder. Of course food would be optimal but to act like some protein powder is overboard is just ridiculous

Skills and technique. Core and balance. Push-ups and sit-ups. Kids have to be careful not to do repetitive and overuse exercises that will cause chronic injuries. Basics. Basics. Basics.

Look I don't like to be condescending but you're off base. Sprinting produces hgh in kids. Look it up. Genetics ain't bad either.

Maybe not, but it's worth discussing. What's the best brand and quantity of energy drink to maximize your kid's soccer potential? Monster? Red Bull?
I find that coffee is cheaper. My two year old likes a little bit of cinnamon and chocolate mixed in.

Its genetics.....sorry to say
my twins turned 13 last month and the tallest is 6' and 180lbs. He's very lean and freakishly strong. He eats generally healthy, protein-rich meals. I'd steer from supplements that young IMHO.
ETA: I'm just now starting he an his brother on a weight training program. twice weekly lifting and 1-2 agility workouts mixed in. Next month I buy the blocking dummies and begin grooming them for pads......I've kept them out of little league full contact opting for flag only.

Yes and it is way before ten. Should've been doing this as soon as he could walk. Sorry but your kid isn't going to the league now. You can try a couple cycles of HGH to catch up but I doubt it is enough.

I think I was just barely 5 feet 130 lbs at that age.

Mine eats 1/4 gallon of ice cream every night, nothing but lean muscle.

Sounds like your kid is gonna hate you the more he grows up because you'll be so overbearing.
Posted on 4/5/17 at 11:44 am to Hester Carries
put him on the diet college coaches do for their players when gaining weight
pb&j with whole milk
