Any advice for a new lifter?

[TheKrzyAsn]

Basically I am new to weight-lifting. I am 15 years old, 5' 6.5", weigh about 140, and have a body fat percentage of about 18.5%. I will eat two eggs(one without the yolk) every morning just from habit. Also, I'm not sure if it's alright, but I've been doing the workouts on a every other day basis, and not a 3x a week one. So A, then wait a day, then B, then wait a day, then A again. Would that be a problem? Or should I add in the extra waiting day as well. Lastly, I didn't see this forum before I started lifting, so I never saw the start at the bar and work your way up. Several times I was unsure at how high I could go, so I was going up in more increments than 5 per time. For instance, in squats, I went up from 25's on each to 45's since I thought I could squat my own weight at least.

So far, this is what I can lift so far.
Squat: 145
Bench: 135(Got through 4 sets, on the last one I couldn't bring the bar back up)
Inverted: 10 reps
Pushups: 30
Crunches: 12(Are you supposed to go up?)
Overhead: 95
Deadlift: 95
Pull-Ups/Chin-ups:Atm none, but then again, I don't have access to a pull-up bar
Prone: 30 sec as directed(although it is easy as well, should I go up too?)

Lifting every other day should be OK, as you're still getting that days rest. It's easier to have two rest days so that you lift the same days each week, makes it easier to fit into a schedule.

A few points:
-If you find you stall soon-ish, it may be worth deloading significantly and working up with 2.5KG/5lbs every session.
-Seeing as you can do a set of 30 pressups, try adding resistance (chains, resistance band, rucksack filled with plates etc.)
-If you find 3 sets of 12 reverse crunches very easy, try increasing the number to say 15. If that's still easy it might be worth trying some to add resistance, maybe use a cable machine with a handle around your shoes, or some more difficult core exercises. Dragon Flags are good.

I don't think I can do those Dragon Flags yet, but I will try doing more reps of reverse crunches. And for my next bench, I will probably go back down to 120 ish and go back up from there accordingly.

Keep it up, as long as you keep progressing in small increments you are on the right track. Based on your numbers, I would look at your deadlift technique as it seems low compared to your other lifts (usually your deadlift should be at least as high or higher than your squat).

First things first, form is everything. Ignore how much you're lifting and focus on form. At your age you don't want to tear yourself up chasing PRs. Remember, muscles will heal, ligaments and tendons might heal, joints almost never heal on their own. Second thing would be nutrition. Watch what you eat and keep your diet clean. Last, but not least, stick with it. You're much more prone to injure yourself starting and stopping than plugging away. Even if it means taking steps back sometimes.

You are at the perfect age to start down a path to success. I waited until I was almost forty and believe me, it's a lot harder as you get older to fix years of bad habits. Find someone to keep you accountable. Don't let yourself get lazy or apathetic, stay positive and you'll get where you want to be.

Ok, it's been almost a month since I started and here are some new stats. Any advice is appreciated!

Squat: 190
Bench: 140(Since last time I deloaded to 120 and have been working my way back up)
Inverted: 15 reps
Pushups: 30
Crunches: 12 With some extra resistance things
Overhead: 100(Not fully sure about the technique. When I bring the bar back down, I can't go all the way back to my chest before it I go up again, as it hurts my back. I'll end up only bringing the bar back down do about where my top of my shoulders and my upper arm slant downward at about a 45 degree angle or so.)
Deadlift: 160
Pull-Ups/Chin-ups:Atm none, but then again, I don't have access to a pull-up bar
Prone: 1 minute
