Thorpey,
I'm not sure if you've heard this before or not but, lifting heavy weight in the less than 10 reps range for people under the age 18 is definitely Ill-advised.
It is dangerous and "may" permanently stunt your growth by damaging your growth plates, if they haven’t sealed yet, and at 15 they most likely have not.
If you haven’t heard this before, please ask around to find out more details if you wish...it's for-real.
My suggestion would be to never lift any weight you can't successfully rep out 10+ times in perfect form, at least until your 18+
Cheers
