It all depends on how often you lift now. Don't start with your body weight. It may be too much. If you've been lifting for a while, you will gradually see increases beyond your own body weight. It also depends on how much fat you are carrying now. I barely touched weights in High School and I had trouble benching 3/4 of my body weight when I started and I wasn't fat.

Start with your weight, 130 and work your way up. My son will be 14 in April. weighs 135, and is about 5'7' and he can lift 180 already. He plays football and wrestles also so is in pretty good shape.

when i was your age i weighed a few pounds more than you are right now and benched 205, if you routinely lift weights ,you should be able to lift twice your body weight.

If you're just starting to train with weights, then don't be discouraged if you're doing a lot less than your bodyweight. Work out hard (and smart), eat healthy, and your strength will go up.

It depends what kind of cardio shape your in. Do you run basketball? If you don't run or jog or treadmill your ability to lift at your age will decrease. After that its up to you.
