A member asked:
Does muscle development and growth get better in the later teens?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is a great disappointment to many early teens that they don't develop lots of muscle mass. While some is genetic, some is conditioning, it is not unusual for young teens to delay real muscle development until later into the teen years and beyond.
