No. Some people, especially if they regularly do physical labor, are very strong without training in gyms lifting weights. A lot of your ability to move heavy objects is genetically determined.

Therefore, some people who are naturally very strong may not be able to demonstrate their strength in standard ways.

How long do you have to lift weights to become buff?
Since you do not want to damage the growth plates on the ends of your arm bones and leg bones, you would be better off lifting every other day with weights that you can do for 20 to 50 repetitions before exhaustion. It is important not to max out your weight, but for bulking up, you do want to lift to exhaustion, that is, the point at which you strain with all your strength but cannot lift the weight any longer. BE SURE to warm up for 15 minutes with light weights and 30-second stretches before you start with serious weights!!!
Keep the muscle moving or rub it to avoid lactic acid buildup (shich causes sore muscles), then do another repetition to exhaustion. Finish with a third rep to exhaustion, or until you muscles feels "pumped up". Warm down with much lighter weights long enough to move the lactic acid out of the muscles, say, 10 to 15 minutes or longer.
An hour per muscle group is plenty at age 15.

"The total record in the men's 56 kg class is 305 kg, in the 105+ kg class it is 472.5 kg. The current official record for the clean and jerk in the men's +105 kg class is held by Hossein Rezazadeh of Iran, who clean and jerked 263.5 kg (580.9 lb) at the 2004 Athens Summer Olympics.

Due to the restructuring of the competitive weight classes that took place in 1993 and 1998, the following lifts are no longer recognized as the official world records. However, these remain the highest figures ever posted in competition. Yevgeny Sypko lifted in the Druzhba Cup Meet, on March 4, 1990, at 130.65kg and snatched 216.5kg (477.3 lb), the highest competitive snatch in history, although it is not recognized as a world record because the meet wasn't officially drug tested. However, it did count as a Soviet Record. The heaviest 'official' snatch of all time is 216.0 kg (476.2 lb), lifted by Antonio Krastev of Bulgaria in 1987. That year Antonio's training produced a world record exceeding snatch of 222.5kg (490.5 lb). The heaviest clean and jerk of all time is 266.0 kg (586.4 lb) lifted by Leonid Taranenko in Canberra, Australia on November 26, 1988.

How does weight training increase muscle fiber size by increasing the number of myofibrils?
Weight training causes muscular hypertrophy, which is broken down into two types. Myofibrillar hypertrophy causes an increase in size of muscle fibers, which are made of myofibrils. Myofibrils are incapable of mitotic reproduction, so you cannot create new ones. Instead, satellite cells that are localized in the sarcolemma underneath the basal lamina are recruited into becoming new myofibrils when needed.

it greatly depends on there weight and if they have lifted in the past but i would say 1 to 3 reps i was doing 8 to 10 reps when i was in 8th grade
It all depends on the person. If they are an athlete who has been training for awhile, they could probably do a few. If they are a normal kid who doesn't play any sports they probably can't do it once. I know guys in high school that can't do it once, but they don't play sports. Even an athlete in 8th grade may not be able to do it because many kids won't start training with weights until high school. So for the stud Middle school athlete, yeah they could probably throw up a few reps. For an average kid, probably not.

What is the difference between the terms power lifting and weight lifting?
Weight training is the science of using weights (or another form of external resistance) in order to train your body to perform a certain task with better ease, efficiency, or technique. This broad category includes simple ankle weights worn while jogging, all the way up to half-ton leg presses.
Weight lifting (i.e. bodybuilding) is a subset of weight training. It specifically identifies the discipline of weight training for the purpose of building larger, stronger, or more well-defined muscles. This is in contrast to weight training, which includes those things, plus weight loss, balance, flexibility, and certain athletic skills.
How many calories do you burn lifting 20 lbs?
Depends on how many times you lift it. Once doesn't use up enough to matter either way. You'd have to keep going, continuously, for the better part of an hour to achieve anything.
Weight loss and calorie burn through exercise is mainly about getting and keeping your heart rate up. And pretty much all kinds of consistent activites, like running, bicycling, swimming, dancing etc etc does a better job of keeping your heart rate up than lifting weights does.
If you can lift weights at a high enough intensity and long enough to match the pulse rate and duration of a run, they you'll burn the same amount of calories. But odds are you can't.
I can do around 1000 cal/hour during intense cardio, but find it really difficult to get past 600 while doing weight training.
Keep in mind that the big thing is your diet. If you are overeating it's pretty much impossible to exercise hard enough to lose anything that way. A snack that takes 5 minutes to eat, like a cupcake, can take one hour to burn off.
