It will not effect the height although it may make it harder to buid on that muscle so i would lift one handed weights to get that arm stronger before you go on to benchpressing ect.

How much can 12 year old benchpress?
ideally a 12 year old should not be benchpressing. Bodybuilding, before you finish growing, has a high chance of stunting growth and causing bone tissue problems however, answering your question somewhat, i would imagine that its very low. perhaps 30kg (bear in mind muscle structure is not fully developed at 12)
Why is benchpressing more difficult by yourself using a soloflex then having a regular bench and a spotter. P.S. I could bench more by myself then with a spotter?
The bands prevent the use of any momentum , if you add free weights to the lever arm it will make the exercises even more difficult . Adding the free weights will make the start of any movement harder and the bands make the lockouts much harder .

I am a 5'5 and 135 lbs soccer player so I have most muscle in my legs and look like a slim guy I don't want to appear as weak so what body parts should I focus on working out to look stronger?
If you are trying to appeal to girls, the first thing that is noticed is definitely your biceps. Try Weights or Benchpressing. Improve the tone in your arms, bulk them up a little and then gradually move to all areas of your body. There is no point having great biceps if everything else is weak! Abs are the second most noticeable (usually when you first see a guy they are under his clothes). Hope this helps.
Can 14 year olds lift weights?
Well it depends how much you have worked out before I started with 7 pounders when i was 10.....Once I hit 14 I was lifting around 15-20 pounds.. Hope that answered your Question.

How much can an 18-year-old bench press?
Kids should not benchpress have him do pushups or something not weight liftingWhy can't a kid bench press? I coach Rugby League and some of the heavy lads struggled to do 3 or 4 press ups but they can perform light bench presses with a bar or dumbells and their press ups have also improved. Weight training when properly supervised is very good for kids.Any amount you can do with out struggling and straining your muscles do less reps.It would depend on how old the 'kid' is. Surely, a parent would not want their child benchpressing. But if that 'kid' is 16 or older, wouldn't it be something they could do?Kids should not benchpress????????????????????OMG LOLim 12 i can bench press 120-130 pounds on the military press were there's no danger of a bar falling on your neck and killing you :)< which is what i suggest to use for kids to bench press
How do you lower a pigeon chest?
Hey, you know i may not be the answer your looking for, but i have Pigeon Chest as well. I have talked to a few doctors about it and from what i can muster its that Pigeon Chest in Some Cases will normalize as you get older.( To me i find it highly unlikely) Although if your looking to hide it sooner i recommend Pushups or benchpressing to work on your muscles. As Pigeon Chest normally develops in tall skinny people you probably dont have much muscle mass to begin with so i would recommend running first till your endurance peaks up then moving to the push ups. Other Options include Several Painful Surgerys... an Exterior Brace that takes 2 years to completely do the job etc mostly expensive stuff In the long run, it really shouldn't matter if you do or don't. Most people care too much about there issues and looks to really care about yours... As you get older you'll see. Well hope i have been even a little help.
