Another month another pic update.
Don't feel like I've improved that much looking at it now, will have to push harder and eat cleaner (this month have been hard with the building I live in catching fire and being homeless and having to eat for all meals for the best part of a week).
Personally aiming to hit the following this month:
DB Bench 26kg
BB Bench 50kg
DL 50kg
Squats 50kg

End of the month another update pic, this time with a comparison from the beginning of the year.
I have changed my routine so there is less isolation exercises and more focus on the big compound lifts, so it effect its Stronglift 5x5 with a few touch ups here and there.
I need to perfect my DL form majorly as I swear I haven't been doing it right and may have upset something.
Feedback and advice would be much appreciated

Whats wrong with just doing stronglifts?
Keep at it mate, your body takes a long tome to change.
I've only recently noticed changes to mine, before you know it you'll be looking like a beast.
Get some videos up of your form, if you feel there bad.

Yep. Post a video in the form thread.

Ohp 30kg 5, 5, 5
Hugely piffed and disappointed with tonight's session, gym was packed at the beginning so had to wait a bit for anything to be free so had to start with deads which I think impacted my squats greatly as I couldn't even manage a full set at 70kg which is why I dropped down so much and even then I struggled with each set.
Bench was fine and should be upping the weight but after the first set I didn't feel like I could hit the next weight up.
Added so OHP just to get used to them and as a finisher to the night

OHP is stupid hard to push through, I am guessing it's just one of those exercises where it's harder to put weight on continuously
