I've been going to gym for about 2 weeks now and i'm doing these weights.
Squat 75Kg
Deadlift 100Kg
Bench Press 50Kg
Overhead Press 25Kg ( there's this issue with my shoulder so i don't dare to do heavier in the mean time )
I've adding 5Kg every time i hit the gym for squat and deadlift. 2.5Kg for bench press.
Is it balanced? Should i slow down? I'm doing these in good postures though...im doing 1 day rest in between training
1.75cm 88Kg at the moment..planning to go down to 80Kg with more muscle mass and 10%-12% body fat by chinese new year (14th Feb)

all sets are 5X5

Are you kidding? If you aren't then I must aim for much lower body fat! ^^

I can keep good posture with these weights, no sore, no aches, no discomfort no nothing.
And yeah..I'm doing stronglift 5X5 with 5Kg increment and I don't do set A for the first day and set B for the second day.
I do set A and B per training. It's like I'm defying what Mehdi said on his website. Should i split em apart and train with 2.5Kg increment as suggested instead? I feel I can go faster though..
