14 year old needs advice

jondabomb24 Posts: 9 Joined: 2004/08/03	2004/12/11, 11:59 AM Im 14 years old, 130 pounds and 5'9. I've only lifted once, about 3 months ago when I was still 14 and my max bench was 100. Is this low for my body weight, age, height? How often should I start lifting? What is a good program to start on, I signed up for one here but it doesn't incorporate benching, squats, etc. Also, will lifting at this age affect my growth?

I don't know how I became that much stronger over a period of 3 months without lifting. Maybe the reason for this was because I was using one of those benches where you twist the bar to lock it which keeps my form better and last time I was using a regular bench.

However, don't try and push yourself over the limit. YOu could end up hurting yourself or worse. When I first started working out it was actually when I was eleven because that's when I started rock climbing. DOn't worry about if your stronger then others just be who you want to be but don't hurt yourself.
