How much Is "too much"?

I started the Gym this year on January, 3 days per week, I started a new routine that Is mesocycle so it works by weeks instead of days. By now i only lift 60kg on bench press, i'm 1.70 and my weight Is 74kg.
Fitbros, it is 60kg/132lbs a good weight to lift by now? People say that when you have a full year of Gym you should be lifting some 70kg/80kg, I know I have some months to keep growing muscle but I dont know if im doing a good timing or if I need to change my routine, how much Is too much? How much do you lift and how much do you wait to reach that weight?

The easiest way to progress is to consistently eat more.
Don't stress about how fast you can improve things. As long as you progress everything is fine. You are still in the Noob gain phase. You don't have to stress about routine yet. At some point you will start to stall on all your lifts and it does not matter if you reach that point within a year or within two years.

My general advice to everyone would be to just do starting strenght and maybe 5x5 afterwards and once you stop progressing and have all your noob gains just stay in that phase and concentrate on other things. Then you are in a body composition that your body wants to be in and everything above quickly goes into a phase of diminishing returns. Afterward people start to juice or to seriously hurt themselves. It is not worth it.

whatever you're able to lift for 5 repetitions while struggling a reasonable amount is enough.
whatever you're not able to lift for 5 repetitions is too much.
whatever you're able to lift with ease for 5 repetitions is too little.

Eating enough protein is difficult. When I don't try at all, I eat like 90% carbs.

That would be like 40g protein out of the required 140g...

the liter of milk alone would be 40g. add one scoop of protein powder, that's 70g. add the actual food you're going to eat that day, there is no way you're eating less than 100g even with the shittiest diet in the world.

I'm trying to get into supplements.

One thing that annoys me to no end is that most available products mix all kinds of stuff together. I have a pretty good idea what I want to take and what not. I have a cheap multivitamin with some essential minerals that covers the baseline of what everyone should take just to be safe. 

Then I want to add some collagen for joint health and muscle growth, but all products that are easily available to me are beauty products for women or joint supplements for old people that not only contain collagen but also a bunch of other shit that's either scientifically proven to be useless, not for me or another dose of vitamins, even though I already get them from my multivitamin. I don't want to waste money or take triple the recommended dose.

Similar with protein powder. I saw some cheap vanilla flavoured protein powder at the grocery store and decided to try it out without looking at it more closely. That was a mistake. Since it is pea protein it is marketed for vegans and has a bunch of shit added that vegans usually don't get from food. I'm not a vegan. But even if I were this would be annoying since I wouldn't want to take my other micronutrients with the protein powder.
