How much should i lift??

how much should a 14 year od boy be lifting. As in weight. I do 30 but I want to set myself a good goal. Thank u. How much should I lift to get bigger musles.

hey
im 15 and lift 35 pounds in each hand when bicep curling
and bench about 75 pounds. and I've only started going gym recently. some people are naturally bigger than others and should lift whats confortable then puch yourself and build that way. for size do big weights and small reps and for tone and definition do lower weights and small reps. first build size then condition to tone it .

thats hot when a guy lifts weights but fau was right.

You shouldn't be lifting weight at 14, it will stunt your growth. Rather just excercise and keep healthy and wait till your at least 17, 18

Could you people PLEASE research this stuff before you spread it. WEIGHT LIFTING DOES NOT STUNT GROWTH!!! Where do you think all the profesional basket ball players come from? There is no scientific evidence that even suggest to the possibility that it would stunt growth. Growing is based on bone density. I started weight lifting when I was 14 years old and I am 6 ft now (tall for my family). At 14 I was able to weight lift 215 pounds 3 times. I got that far by doing 100 pounds 3 rep's 10 times.

Professional basketball players come from all over. They don't come from lifting weights dude. Your body is still growing, and your muscles and tendons have to expand to compensate the growth in your bones. Lifting weights makes them expand faster which could lead to problems. Weight lifting is tearing the muscles. That's basically what it is. Doing that at 14 isn't a good idea.

tseirpeht and noiselesspatientspider are both correct,,, but I would lean closer to tseirpeht. as he is mostly right. I have done my research, and weightlifting doesnot stunt growth,,, but at a young age like 14 you shouldnt lift to heavy as this can tear muscles from the age of 14,15 and maybe 16 you should lift a lot lighter as you tone your body and get them stronger your body gets used to it but make sure to rest for at least 2 days as your muscles grows during the resting time not while lifting.

I am 15 and I am now in high school and they actually have a weight liftign room available to all, and believe it or not a LOT of other 15 year old kids use it after school, and from what I see they are lifting about 50-60 lbs, and like a couple answers have said that is because they aren't aloud to lift anymore than that due to the fact that it could tear your muscles, so I recomend you try around there and when you are around 17 lift up to 70-85 and when you reach 18 you should be lifting 100+ with ease, take my advice into consideration.

Im 15 and about 234 lbs and im bench pressing 155 lbs and 20 reps in sets of 10. I lift 35 lb hand weights. When I was 13 I was benching 115 and 20 lb hand weights.

You should work your way up to your body weight because boys should be able to lift their body weight. And I'm sure that you lift more than 30 you must not be counting the weight of the bar. These people on here don't know what their talking about it will not stunt your growth that's a myth.

I just turned 15 last week, im 155lbs, and 6 feet tall and I bench about 190. I started lifting about 7 months ago. I was 5'9, 140lbs, and benched about 100. after a few months of lifting a guy should be able to lift his own weight. Do not over train tho. give your muscles at least 2 days to recover.

I dont wanna be mean or anything, but none of you guys know what your talking about, if you want help getting bigger, adding a lot of mucle, or losing some fat, then just contact me
