    am i good, for a 16 year old? good plan? or not?

    right ive been training natural for 6 months now, and this is my current work out program, is it good? and also my current 1rm.
    typical week. i split my week into a high volume and high intensity, so one day i will light heavy for lower reps, and the next lighter for more reps. but im sure you know what that is: note not sure of all the names of exercises.

    PS are these good 1rm for training for 6 months and being 16

    80kg
    deadlift: 315lbs
    bench:150ish lbs
    squat(smith):270 lbs

    day one rest
    day two legs
    day three chest( heavy: normally 1 set of 10-12 at a lighter weight to warm up + 4 sets of slowly increasing the weight, aiming for 8-12 reps)
    day four back(heavy)
    day five rest
    day six legs(light, normally 5 sets at consistent weight trying to focus on the pump, aiming for 10-14 reps)
    day seven chest(light)
    day eight back(light)
    repeat

    legs day, heavy
    10 mins on spinning bike to warm up
    deadlifts, sets of 8 increasing the weight. then my reps decrease to 5 when im getting heavy
    squats on smith machine (i have a bad knee so i find it safer), sets of 10 increasing the weight, then decrease to 8 when getting heavy

    unweighted abs, try to go for 15 reps for each movement,

    2 minutes plank x 2
    lying leg raises
    lifted leg raises
    oblique workout
    sit ups

    back to legs:
    leg extensions
    leg curls
    hip abduction
    hip extension
    calf machine
    leg press

    chest day,

    dumbell bench
    shoulder dumbell thingy
    front bar delt raises
    side delt raises
    rear delt raises
    barbell bench
    planche for aslong as i can hold itx 3
    tricep dips
    chest fly
    30 minutes of cardio

    back day
    warm up with pull ups, with three sets
    widest grip x 8 reps
    semi wide grip x 9 reps
    chin ups x 11 reps

    weighted abs

    bicep dumbell curl( one set hammer curls)
    diverging lat
    cable row
    lat pull down
    landmine rows

    then bicep machine, 2 sets of this,

    looking for improvements? maybe overtraining or undertrainng im not sure!

    There is nothing wrong with smith machine squats, if your goal is hypertrophy. If your goal is strength, stick to the barbell squat in rack. Or Box Squat, Or Zercher Squat.
    So you're on the internet for good advice, here's some good advice: have a good laugh once in a while. And never tear your bicep!

    and this is the powerlifting/strongman section, if your goal is SOLELY hypertrophy...there is the entire rest of the forum.

    To answer your question, it doesn't seem like a good plan and your gains aren't good, not being mean, you just don't know what you're doing, and thats ok since most 16 year olds don't know either. Try to find a good program, I got on Candito's program for squat back when I was 16, went from 225 ATG to 435 below 90 degrees, and 425 completely ATG in 6 months weighing 180 lbs. I like benching 3x a week using 80% for 5x5, 85% for 10x3 and 75% for 6x6, that's just me though.
