Deadlift: 160kg

Bentover Row: Just learned the correct technique yesterday (starting from floor).

Overhead Press: 50kg but I have just learned the correct technique (getting forward under the bar for heavier lifts).

Those are the main ones.

Nice simple well-rounded plan - looks like Stronglifts?

Where in Welly are you working out?

3 x 5 Starting Strength is awesome. I've had my flatmate doing it for the past while and he's making incredible gains.

I did a session where I worked out how much weight I should start with. But I have started to get back into my normal training so going to stick with that for a while longer.

Yeh, it is stronglifts. I work out in Trentham Military Camp gym.
