A young beginner of 14 years could improve more than 40kg in the first year An athlete that set a record could face problems to just keep that level and a progress of 2/3kg needs a careful programming of 4yrs of training

My point is, why is a teen so much higher? Yes, teens are still growing so they naturally are going to get stronger because their weight class is constantly going up. But that aside, someone in their early 20's would still have the same potential for progress until they get to the same high end, no>?
