Please rate my progress. I'm a 35yo male, damn I'm old, bw is 76KG.

Started working out on mid September 2015 - so it is about 6 months. Using classic bodybuilding split, shoulder/bicep, chest/tricep, legs/back
I even tried to squat everyday but I pancit on the 5th day, now trying to squat every 2-3 days, squat heavy once a weak. Only do high bar back squat.

Main objective is mass and then strength.

Now I can do 80KG as working set for bench press - I stuck at 70KG for quite some time. I even changed to gym that has 2.5KG plate so I can properly overload my muscles and now can do 80KG at 8 reps with ease.

100KG deadlift as working set- I need to check my form, from my video recording I found out my shoulders are still round and my lower back is not flexible enough. Able to DL 110kg for 3-4 reps. Will revisit my DL form.

My concern is my overhead press, I only able to lift 50KG for 3-4 reps, I stuck at 40KG ful lworking set for like 3-4 months already, I did my OHP using push press by using legs to drive the weights up not even using the strictest form which is military press. I can do 52KG Arnold press using dumbbels though. Any idea on how to improve on this area?

quite good progress if you were a newbie and doing this for 6 months.
