Kek it's not that good for a bench and no way. I almost have the same stats. Remember it compares data to other lifters too at that age, so if a lot of 20 year olds just bench, the bench will be higher.

I would of had higher squat, but it lagged behind because of some mystical back pain, which disappears after 2 weeks.

is your back straight and are you building up pressure in your stomach (flexing lower back and abs)?
also watch the video '3 press fixes' on yt, it's pretty good for a beginner.

I'm always more concerned about my back, so it could be that I neglected my abs. Will watch video and try it next time in gym.
