One of my sons is 14 and we lift together.
If you want to build strength or size, as soon as you can do more than 20 reps you need to increase the weight you are lifting.
Frequently increase the weight you are lifting, otherwise you will not get stronger.
Flys and many other exercises that only use one joint are not very effective, especially for beginners. Bicep and leg curls are okay.
Real strength = Overall strength. So, exercise all the major muscles of your body. For example routine:
. Overhead press
. Pull-ups or bent row
. Bench press
. Squat (if you dont' have a squat rack do dead lifts)
. Leg curl
. Bicep curl (not really needed if you work pull-ups or rows hard)
. Ab exercises
To get the most benefit from these exercises and to avoid injury, study good exercise form here http://exrx.net/WeightExercises/ErectorS...
If you are doing an exercise and become too tired to keep good form -- you should stop that exercise and rest. That will prevent all sorts of injuries.
Good luck!Health Question & Answer
