Honestly the best way to continue to grow is to work your entire body. On another note, I think this will lead to overtraining super quickly and your gains will stop, and you could risk hurting yourself. I would drop at least 1 day off of that routine for bench press. 2 days a week MAX, but make sure to start lifting the rest too. I agree with Ogono, up the weight and lower the reps a little. If you max 165, then maybe do 115x12, 135x8, 155x4 or something along those lines.

Being your only 13, I would choose a routine from the site and just use it along with eating well and getting your rest. Thats how you'll see gains. -------------- She sits and wonders why.....no more.
