1. 345 at any bodyweight is an awesome bench at age 16 -- like buff said it's not a world record, but it's still f'n awesome. You are definitely powerlifting material.
2. Next time you max, make bigger jumps in your weights, for example, do 20 lbs jumps instead of those 5 lbs jumps.
For example, you might do
45 x 5
95 x 5
135 x 5
185 x 3
225 x 3
275 x 1
315 x 1
335 x 1
355 x 1
And those first four or five sets you can do fairly fast. The point is, if your max is 345, then you did 5!!! lifts above 90 percent before getting your new max. You should only be doing 1 or 2 lifts over 90 percent before going for the new max otherwise you've already burned all your gas by the time you've gotten up to a real max weight.
I would say if you maxed out again soon, you can get 355 or 365 easily just by planning your attempts better.
Thanks man..ya i'll try to do larger jumps next time...Thanks for your comments and your tips bro..:)
