I dont think that weight training at 14 is particularly beneficial to a quick bowler (especially over a 4 week period). However that is not to say that it is not without merit.

I believe the benefit of weight training at that age is the formation of good habits that will continue as your career progresses.

I would also add that as a player gets older the aim of weight training should not primarily be to add pace but for injury prevention.
