Hi,
I'm 19 years old and have been working out for a year now, Probably less considering how my first month was an absolutely diabolical 'DIY' style weight lifting regime.
I started off on Bench,OHP,Deads,Squats on just the bar (20kg) and want to know if my progress is good/bad/slow etc..
Currently:
Bench: 70kg (150lb) 5 reps
Deadlift: 100kg (220lb) 5 reps
Squat 80kg (175lb) 5 reps
OHP: 48kg (105lb) 5 reps
I know my squat is very bad, I think because i'm 6ft5 , I messed up with my form and hurt my hip going heavy on them, Wish I was a bit smaller! Long joints are annoying haha!

You should check out bodybuilding.com, lots of great info for adding mass and eating right. You should be able to see steady gains for years to come! Keep up the hard work, and don't be tempted to mess with roids while your own hormones are raging. You start too early and you'll screw things up for life.
I have checked it out
Read plenty on routines and diet etc and have learnt a lot from there! Wasn't even remotely thinking of doing so haha! Far too complicated to be getting into that stuff with my hectic life and I don't want to go down that route for at least another 10 years haha! Thanks for the reply man
It's not about whether we think its 'good' as that would be comparing you to ourselves but IMO your bench has gone from 20kg to 70kg in a year? That's over 3 times stronger so yes your def on the right track. Continuous progression is the key which you seem to be doing. Rome wasn't built in a day, keep it up and remember a good training plan is nothing without a good diet. Good luck
