Patience is a Virtue
Q: I'm 14yrs. old and have been weight lifting for almost a year. I'm extremely skinny but am supriseingly strong for my size. I can bench 140 and weigh only 114lbs. My question is what am i doing wrong? I want to get big but it just isn't happening. I have made gains, but they're not that noticeable (at least not to me) Basically, what is the number of exercises, reps, sets i should do along with workdays and how often to work a muscle. Do you understand what i'm saying? I have the nutrition part down. (I even use protein drinks and such) Thanks for your time.
A:
Give it a bit of time. You are now 14 years old and pretty strong. You will be going throught a growing process over the next few years and you will get the size that you want. Be patient, stay strong and make sure that you are studing just as hard as you are lifting.
