Today, one of my boys did endos on strap bar for the first time (and they were absolutely stunningly beautiful, even though he'd never even attempted them before except out of a forward sole circle), and after doing a few said his back was hurting a little.

Is back pain typical when endos are first introduced? Is this anything I need to worry about? Is there any preventative stretching or conditioning I could have him do?

yes, it is typical. yes, keep a check on it and do not do them every day for the first couple of months. more drills. yes, has to stretch hamstrings and low back. also, needs to learn to 'exhale' when going thru the bottom and NOT hold breath. same applies for stalders.
