Hello and thanks for your question.
Body building is healthy and should not cause problems with growth or his ability to have children in the future. As long as he is just working out and not using supplements or steroids then it is fine for him to do the body building.
If he is using any supplements or steroids this can be dangerous. Supplements should only be taken under the direction of a physician
