They know what safety is and they are grown up enough to take care of themselves to a certain extent.

At 17 yrs old 128 pounds how much should you bench press to gain muscle mass?
Depending on your body type the weight you can lift will vary. Some 17 year olds with shorter arms will be able to curl or bench press more than those with longer arms. Also, a mans muscles will mature at different speeds, some will mature faster and will be stronger than others. So, there really isn't a specific weight that a 17 year old boy should be able to lift. Some will say otherwise but I'm telling you that you shouldn't worry about it.
If you want a specific weight though here's my opinion:
17yr old bad shape: bicep curl: 0-10lbs, Bench press: 0-50lbs, Squat: 0-60lbs
17yr old good shape:bicep curl:10-35lbs,Bench Press:50-120lbs, Squat:60-170lbs
17yr old excellent shape:bicep curl:35-65lb,Bench Press:120-250,Squat:170-320lb
17yr old extreme shape:Bicep Curl:65---lbs,Bench Press:250---lbs,Squat:320---lbs
That's just based on my own findings and thoughts though. Some may have other points of view.

Can a person build muscle at the age of 50?
yes, if you are still willing to exercise
Some considerations though. After the age of 30, your level of both testosterone and growth hormone will begin to decrease, What that means for muscle growth is that your ability to recover will also decrease. You will need to become more efficient in the exercises you choose (mainly compound exercises) and the time you spend working out. Don't work out more than 3 days per week. It will take longer to recover. Do some cardio exercise as well; roughly 3 times per week. Most important: pay attention to your diet. Balanced, with sufficient levels of protein, low fat, and moderate carbs. Eat as healthy as you can. Make sure you get enough sleep. This varies, but at least 7 to 8 hours per night. You wont make as good progress as a 20 year old who is going all out, but if you go all out, you will be stronger and in better shape than most guys you see on the street.
