Is dumbbell bench press as good as barbell bench press?


i only have dumbbells can i still gain a big chest and what is a good weight to press for a 15 year old
i can press 50 pound dumbbells is that ok for a 15 year old

It is a matter of preference. Both have their benefits. However, dumbbells are more challenging because each arm and pec muscle has to work independently. Also, the dumbbells allow for a greater range of motion. Yes, you can most definately get a good size chest using dumbbells. Contrary to what is said, pushups are not effective at building size, but rather, endurance. What weight you press is not really important. There is no exact number of what you should be lifting at age 15, 20, etc. 50 lb dumbbels are pretty good for being 15, but it is relative to what you weigh.
