I want to start lift weighting ( http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/29/9fc8d530e14cd1745bcf488fba335fec.jpg )
I'm 14 years old, 1,76 m tall and 81 kg.
So how much do you think I should start lifting ? (Note my body type is mesomorph)

The only way to find out how much you should lift is by finding out yourself and see how your body reacts. Just use some weights and do what is fairly easy for you. But have a little bit of resistance. Not too much. You need resistance to build muscle.

It all depends on what your planning on doing.

Start out light, and work your way up to whatever feels best. Just don't lift any weight that is too heavy or strenuous for you.

Thanks guys! I got thesehttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/29/cb28b59f5ef5cb061aacf6403c155871.jpg so that I can regulate the weight. I'll start with 3kg and then start adding

start with a weight that is light enough you can do all of your reps with correct form.

3kg sounds fine I started on that I'm now on 12 kg but I don't do it as much as I should

Don't believe what people say about weight lifting stunting growth, unless you're squatting 500lbs at the age of 10, I've been weight lifting since 13 and haven't experienced any negatives, the only advice I can give as others have gave is to find a weight you're comfortable with, there's no point picking a cool heavy weight you can barely lift 10 times. Pick a weight you can do perfect form with 5x10 if you're doing bicep curls for example. If you find yourself swinging your body, it's too heavy. You'll get bigger muscles doing perfect form with lighter weights compared to terrible form for heavy weights.
If you go to a gym it can be good to start on machines and do simple exercises like bicep curls, and maybe later if you get into it move onto harder exercises such as squats. I'm a big fan of bicep curls and if you want your arms to look good, they're the best exercise

First I would start with little weight and develop correct form. All the weight and incorrect form will not achieve the results you want and could end up causing injuries
