No.
You may actually want to increase the ammount you bench and go fewer reps. Depending on what your trying to gain with your lifting.

Do not follow the phrase, " NO PAIN NO GAIN ". When you are exercising and you feel pain, it is time to stop. If you are just starting out lifting weights, it is better to start with a weight you are comfortable with so you do not strain the muscles you are trying to build or tone. Less weight, more reps to start. When you are benching free weights you should always have a spotter for safety, just incase you are unable to lift that last rep or are lifting close to your max. Put together a chart to keep track of how much weight you are lifting and how many times you are able to bench a certain weight and how many sets. For example, Lift weights three days a week, like Monday-Wednesday-Friday. This will not over work your muscles you use for benching and will allow them time to tone or build up. Also keep track of the weight you lift each week and increase it by 10 pounds each week or what ever safe weight you feel is right for you. You can also go to a coach at your school who has experience in strength training. Good luck, but be safe.

Well I start to lift when I was 14 too but I didn't grow anymore I stay at 5'7 and now at 29 I have the sane height but I got a great pair of guns (18 inches each) I just need to work on my midsection.
All my friends and my doctor told me that I'm short becuse I use too much weight on my trainning. But I feel o.k with my height.

You should be able to bench at least you're own weight.( one time)Work you're way up a little at a time. Make sure you stretch & warm up you're muscles before you lift heavy weights.Also, make sure you have a spotter standing by for you're saftey.Do three sets of as many as you can,adding 5 lbs to each set.You're on you're way!!

Sounds like a good start, if you add more weight you might BULK up more, what really matters how big you want to be in the chest and shoulders.

If you are going for mass your better of doing repititions rather than pressing mass weight.
