Without reading your original post I can still answer your question. Your weakpoints are as follows: On the bench, your triceps, upper back and lack of bar speed are your weak points. Work on them all, all the time. On squatting and deadlifting, your weak points are low back, hips, and hamstrings, as well as bar speed. These are your weak points. These also happen to be my weak points, and about everyone who reads this boards' weak points, because these are the muscles that do these exercises. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, so strengthen every link in the chain.
If the bar stalls low, especially with a shirt, then you are not going fast enough. If it stalls just prior to lockout, then your triceps are not strong enough to keep up with your bar speed. If the bar sticks to your chest, then you have too much weight on the bar. These are truisms across the board. Good luck, you are on the right path. I wish I had began this journey at your age.
