Patience, exertion and the simple key element to building strength and muscle. No pain = No gain. If you are not pushing your muscles to exhaustion and failure every time then you are not building anything, your just maintaining. Keep pushing yourself and you will find that over time your maxes go up if you have the right diet and give yourself adequate rest between your workout days.
Do research, theres a lot of good information out there if your willing to spend a few hours sorting through it. Good luck
How do you help train young boys to lift weights?
As a former bodybuilder, I can assure that it is neither safe, nor practical for a young boy to be training with weights. This can create all kinds of issues with regards to proper physical development and injuries. On average, it's best to start them when they are in the 14 to 15 age range. However, it is okay to get a young child involved in strength training, which should not be confused with weight training. Younger kids should train with minimal weights and go for high reps. Before getting started, seek out an instructor familiar with developing strength training programs for children. And remember, strength training should be a part of a total fitness program for a child. Make sure they eat well and get plenty of sleep.

If you are skinny and want to gain muscle mass should you run and lift weights or just lift weights?
In order to gain muscle mass, you should do more weight lifting and less cardio. However, don't give up cardio altogether. Instead, cut your treadmill (or whatever) time down to 10 - 15 minutes, and do it prior to lifting. This way, your heart gets its workout. You could also get some whey protein and take it twice a day. I used it and was very happy with the results.
Good luck and work hard!
