Where there is smoke, there is cancer.
I don't work out nor am I in-shape so it would feel wrong to contribute to this discussion, but I reaally want to... for some reason.
 
What's your diet like? Lol, I'm 5'4-5'5 and I fluctuate between 120-125, and I think my lifts suck. My strength comes and goes depending on how I eat. My strongest is Deadlifts at 195 for 3x5.
 
I know the struggle. 5 foot 8 and I'm only 135 lbs, but I've already started the process of getting muscle and got at least a solid base by now. Marathon training tends to slim you down alot and doesn't leave as much room for muscle training- and my diet had to reflect a runner's diet much more than a muscle building diet.

But now that I'm done with this year's Marathon, I've toned it down from 50 to 40 miles a week, and put that extra time in my desperate struggle to not turn into a human stick figure.

At the very least, I've enjoyed being a lightweight so far- only takes 4 beers to really have a good night :p

I will post my results at the end of the semester (Early December)!

I have a really, really fast metabolism, but I don't really have any diet. I eat 4-6 meals a day, most of it just being random things (sandwiches, burgers, pizza, pasta, etc). I'm 6' ~155lbs now, very slim, but the results are definitely coming in and I can see my abs again! :D

Really likes to throw things at you.
Soooo your gain numbers make absolutly no sense.

Also some of your workouts are in the wrong muscle groups i.e pulldowns are for lats not triceps (unless you mean tricep pressdown) and dips are primarily used for chest.

Best of luck with your fitness program !
 
Ya your strengths gains are insane. In a month. Benching 175, swole ass dudes struggle with 155. My max bench is 115 and I think it's okay for my size I wanna hit 135.
