Weight lifting workout program for a 14 year old?

I'm 115 lbs, and 5'8" my father has a bench and multiple weights, but when i ask him he doesn't really want to set me up with a work out. As you can see i don't need to lose weight, i just would like to get stronger and gain muscle. I don't know the maximum weight i can lift. Sorry.

Well there you have it. Remember to experiment: if a weight doesn't seem right to you, you can always adjust it. If you can't find a spotter I HIGHLY suggest you head to your nearest gym, and there will be plenty of people willing to help you.

Hope I helped, good luck dude.
