Hi Felix,
You can use the weights at any age.
But you MUST use proper technique when lifting. Improper lifting can damage your growth plates.
Remember too, as you work out your muscles actually tear slightly. You NEED to give your body some rest to allow them to heal. As they heal the muscles become stronger.
Hope it helps.
