That type of question can't be answered. It depends on diet, your weight, height, amount of muscle tissue, type of fibers in the muscle tissue, genetics, etc. The fact that you're 5' 8" and 191 lbs. judging by your stats, I'd say moving 405 for 5 reps is pretty beastly and I'd be mucho happy with that. Just keep shooting for better bro.

At 18 that's pretty darn good. No one can answer the question "how much weight should I be using," but you. If you want to lift more, keep doing what you're doing.

it really depends on your goals and body size more than age. A guy your size pulling 405x5 is pretty **** solid, but im a big dude (no, not all muscle) so 405 for me is nothing spectacular, its about half way up my set list in weight. Age really means nothing, i've seen physique model types struggling to do 5 or 6 reps of 150 on a bench press in their 20's, but a 15 year old kid right next to him put up a couple reps at 300.
