you cant ask that, age is nothing. its all about body shape and build. basically your optimal body wieght. meaning if yuor 5'10" you should weigh a certian amount. and that certian amount you SHOULD wieght should be your average lift. so dont expect a 400lb 5'2" to beable to life 400lb's

You may be a little under but i't dosen't really matter if your doctors say your healthy and maybe you just didn't get yor grouth spurt yet,most boys don't get theres until 14or15 so don't sweat it you'll be fine and if that doesn't work they have stuff you can take if you go to the doctors to help you gain weight. Besides if your just built small theres nothing wrong with that cuz i'm 16 i'm 5'1 and i only weigh 95 pounds

Hi, I'm fourteen and i throw 35 average but have had like a 42 or something before. If you really have the heart for shock putting , join a boxing club during the off season, trust me I have the best arm in my school, even over the boys. If you like I could reccomend you some good boxing clubs.

14 is not too old. i started gymnastics when i was.. how old was i.. i was 15. if you start at 14, chances are you wont become an olympian, but you can still enjoy the sport, even compete at the collegiate level later

There's no age limit, I didn't learn to do a good back handspring til I was 21.  Work on your ab muscles that helps.  Also I learned how to do it by getting the feel in a foam pit.  The pit was solid not blocks of foam.  It really helped.  I did notice that when my chest started to develope that it was really hard to do tricks.  Your balance is different.  Good luck

I wouldn't suggest lifting weights until you're at least 12 years old.  In the meantime, you can still build strength by doing exercises such as pushups and pullups.\nTry doing 5 sets of both pushups and pullups, doing as many as you can with each set.  Do this 3 days a week.  You should become noticably stronger within a month or so.\nAlso make sure you run/jog at least twice a week.\n\nAs for vitamins, make sure you take a good multivitamin, in order to get all of the vitamins and minerals you need.\n\nTo gain weight, I'd suggest chocolate milk, peanut butter, and bread.  \nAnd no, weights do not make you slow.

oh yeah!! Good question, here's a good answer:\nStart by doing squats, hold about 25-30lbs in each hand squat down, keep your feet shoulder length apart. 15 reps, 4 sets!! DO NOT USE THE SQUATING TECHNIQUE WHERE YOU HOLD THE BAR ON YOUR SHOULDERS, squating 150+ pounds, your knees will turn into putty when your 43 years old!! CALF RAISES!!!!!! do calf raises off steps or any thing that has stairs, just use your own body weight, 25-30 reps, 4 sets trust me it works the best!!!! You will feel the burn and the muscle developement!!! I was dunking when I was 15 years old!!\nRiding bikes help as well!!

Well, it's going to vary greatly from team to team, especially from small schools to larger ones.\nBut if you're at a larger school, I'd say a LB could go about 180-190.\n\nAnd if you can bench about 225 or more, you should be able to get the job done. \nDon't be a bench-monkey and neglect your legs, though. Squats and the hip sled are what really build explosiveness.\nAnd make sure you're working your shoulders and back so you don't bench too much and pull your shoulders out of joint (it happens).

Ummmm. i dont think its wise to tell a 14 year old to use laxitives:-l. First, its very dangerous sweety..don't do it.  I suggest drinking 8 gasses of lemon water every day and eat a salad before lunch and dinner. Eat as much as you can of salad and you wont eat alot of the food. Also, there is never a quick fix to losing weight. If you lose too fast it can hurt you as you lose muscle not fat. You could even die if you follow a silly fad diet...Just be sensible and realistic. don't skip meals as it slows weight loss.

no more than 70kg.....unless you are Mr Olympia body builder, then I'm sure you would be over 100kg and look pretty good.

IF YOU ARE FOURTEEN..YOU SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST NINE AND A HALF INCHES TO BE NORMAL. YOU SHOULD ASK A FREIND TO LET YOU BORROW SOME FROM HIM!

Dude, you have to be careful training at 14 because you are still growing.  The most important training you can do for yourself is to build your core muscles, ie stomach, trunk, butt upper legs.  This will make you significantly stronger and protect you from injury.\n\nIf you join a reputable gym in your area you will be able to find someone to help you.  If you can afford a professional trainer then get one.  You are underweight for your height and training for Basketball and Football are not compatible.  Be careful of your arm and leg joints.  Loosen up before stressing them in any way it is easy to break a joint at the growth plate.  \n\nDon't go for bulk you need to concentrate on power.  Powerlifting is also good for the core muscles I wrote about.  Can you approach your Football coach about this?  They are quite fanatical about weight training in my experience.\n\nGood luck.

WHAT CAN YOU POSSIBLY FIGHT ABOUT AT AGE 14.
