Im 16, 70 kg (158 lb), and can bench 60kg (135lb) ten times. 1RM estimator gives me an estimate of aobut 80kg.
Is this any good for my age?

As long as you feel as if your gaining who cares .
Ka0s :In my experience, doing heavy barbell squats, bench presses, deadlifts, military presses, rows, etc. builds no significant muscle mass.
What you need to really get big is a solid routine which focuses on light weights and cable movements to really force blood into those muscles and get that deep burn & powerful contraction

Yeah bro. That's about where I was at when I was turning 17. But age isn't really a good indicator of progress. My cousin got his max bench up to 300 before he turned 16 because he started really early. It just matters how far you've come since you started.

Age doesn't matter, progress does.
