I remember junior high. I think 135 was the "oh my God" weight for all of us. A couple of kids did it, nit sure they should have.

As mentioned stress form not weight. Don't want your kid to be that idiot at the gym BOUNCING weights off his chest. Or be the kid who drops a 45 pound plate and busts up one of his friends.

I'd worry more about how much can four or five times with solid form. Struggling to finish the fifth with a good spot. Every kid is different some have long arms, some short, thicker chests, and narrow. It all goes into it. Just let him know that no matter how much he lifts it will change over time as long as he keeps working.

I'd worry more about light weight clean with solid form for his age. flexibility is huge for that age.
