Just wanted to test my press with the 28kg bell. I never expected 6 reps a side and I still had at least 1-2 more reps on each arm. I'm way stronger than I was in my press even with the light weight higher rep pressing I've been doing. This routine agrees with me and I just need to keep pushing the weights up and stick to it.

I have actually still been gaining weight and am at 230lbs right now. This is heavier than I want to be but I'm still not really fat and my abs do still show. I'm nowhere near strong enough to support this weight, but at the same time my goal has been to bring my squat and bench up and ignore my weight for now. I can always get lean later after building up strength and gaining muscle.

My pullups are getting harder though. I am probably good for 8 -9 reps at this weight but my right elbow is just barely starting to complain. I will revise what I am doing pullup-wise for now.
