Yes thats good. 1 1/2 your body weight is always good. Make sure you wrap your wrists. I started working out early as well and didn't wrap mine and 15 yrs later I'm paying for it. You only get one body and yours hasn't fully developed so be carefull. Keep up the good work.

Well...Since your only 15 I've heard from a lot of people that you should be only benching 150% of your weight max. I'm not sure if 185 if 150% of your weight, but generally I would recommend doing a lot of power cleans, they work your whole body. You should also have the correct technique for it.

I would say that you are looking for an early retirement. I would ease off the weight a little unless you want to do some serious damage to your muscles and bones. You said you are 15, that means that your body is still growing. The damage you do will be irreversable. Please drop to pressing at least half that weight.

I think that it's good. There is nothing wrong with being strong for your age. Though, I think it looks creepy when someone has TOO much muscle---I mean a lot , a lot of muscle, yuck--- but that's has nothing to do with your hight. Little scrawny though.

I cant wait to go to high school, i heard they have a weight lifting room in there. I would like to get bigger muscles so I can beat my friend Dave in armwrestling.
