Ok so it has been a weekend of temptations and some pretty bad eating......
Know how you feel there, my diets been pretty poor (Combination of not eating often enough/enough and drinking whilst on the go at uni , can't say I dont enjoy it though).
I agree with Morba in his second post. Sometimes the size just comes with genetics. I go gym very regularly, I lift amongst the heaviest in the place, 40kg dumbell a side on bench press (an I only weigh 60kg). i train the same way and with the bigger guys there however I'm just soooo much smaller than them, I just can't put on size.
Those are some good lifts, eat more and you'll inevitably put on size .
As for working out your lifts in lbs etc, just do what you feel capable of for 8 reps (or whatever your normal rep range), make sure you're pushing to failure each week then check the weights every few weeks and it'll make progress far more noticable/save time. That's what I'm doing as I've joined my uni gym with barbells and I'm just doing whatever weight I can within a reasonable rep range.
