Like from when you first started lifitng weights on average how many weeks did it take to get strong enough to lift 5lbs more, until you hit your plateau?

yes, when you start lifting regularly the sets should always be challenging to complete. if you can complete the set, then it's time to move up the weight.
beginners will be able to increase the weight, more than experienced ones, each week. so I wouldn't worry about plateau's just yet, not for another year, as they'd be easy to fix for the moment.
