yes ,a lot of full grown men can't lift that much.Please consult a doctor,and find a professional trainer ,you are still growing without proper training and education you can cause physical injuries that will damage you for life.enjoy yourself.

I wouldn't say this is a lot for your age, but a lot for your size. You probably know that shorter people bulk up faster because their bodies are more compact. When I was 13, I was 5 foot nothing. Now I'm 14 and 5'5". I can squat more than 300 lbs because I concentrate mostly on my legs abs and back. I don't bench much because there isn't usually any one to spot me. I think benching 205 lbs is a lot. I weigh 115 lbs and bench 135 lbs.

You're kidding me.
I could do that in... a year
It's definitely A LOT for any 13 year old. But if you have the potential, drive, and passion for it, sure. Good luck and please don't hurt yourself
