Hey everyone! So about a month ago I decided to make a slight temporary change to my workout and stopped bench pressing and moved to dumbbell press instead.
I have decided to start slowly at 3X10 35 pounds each hand and have added about 4 pounds every time I worked out my chest.
Right now I'm at a point where I’m lifting 3X10 80 pounds each hand and I'm probably going to be 3X10 90 pounds in about a week
My question to you is:
1)when should I stop increasing the weight in this exercise?
2)can too much weight cause injuries/affect growth?
I feel like I can keep increasing weight but I don’t want to injure myself or slow down my growth...
Weight is:148 lb (67 KG)
Height: 5'7(174 CM)
I'm turning 17 In about a month if age matters..
Sorry for my bad English if something is not understandable ask and I’ll explain
all help is appreciated!

1. You should never stop increasing the weight. Progressive overload is important for strength and mass gains
2. As long as your form is good you will be injury free
You won't slow down the growth, thats absolutely absurd. Progressive overload (adding more weight) builds muscle~Jesus Christ Is My Savior Crew~
The land at the end of our toes goes on and on,
The sand at the core of our bones continues on
Hey I just met you. And this is crazy. But today is chest day. So spot me maybe?
Art thou prone to such insurmountable force upon thou biceps?
