some thoughts:
IMHO, your increments per set are very little, especially for big movements like squats/bench press. from the looks of it you're trying to break PR's every workout right? wont it be logical to increase the increments a tad more so that you got more fuel in the tank for PR at your final set?

eg, ur most recent bench press:
1x10 5kg (warm up)
1x5 40kg
1x5 42.5kg
1x5 45kg
1x5 47.5kg
1x1 50kg

what if you did 5kg increments instead?
1x10 5kg (warm up)
1x5 40kg
1x5 45kg
1x1 50kg

less 2 sets, so you would probably have an easier time breaking PR's amirite? and if you think you STILL got more in your tank, go for another PR -or- reduce weights ala reverse pyramid sets.

just a thought though... imo what counts is that you're progressing either way..

hey, no offense taken, chill haha. i was just wondering how did you get 2.5kg increments until i realised you were using the 1.25's lol. like i said, as long as you progress man. good job breaking PR's every week. keep doing this and in a year you would up there with the big boys, seriously.

10kg increments in a month = monster

edit: never blame genetics. i find a lot of people blame genetics when they cant grow, and they're usually the ones looking the same day in and day out
