Think my strength has increased with this current hypertrophy routine I am doing, all 3 bench's are about 135lb for about 3 reps.. keep in mind I do short rest time like 2 minutes when I probably should do at least 5 minutes I am currently doing DB's for bench I will be doing 50lbs and probably going for 8 reps this friday.

My Sumo's I just hit a new PR last week with 225lbs for about 6 reps or to failure. the OHP I stopped doing 2 months ago just to switch up exercises and work on isolation body parts but I stopped at about 85lbs for 5-6 reps.

I haven't done squats in almost 2 years now due to the fact that my knee's are pretty worn out from the first 3 years of doing it along with playing Goalie. I may have to get myself a knee strap when I decide to hit up the squats again.

This is what my current Upper Body routine looks like:

Chest
Back
Shoulders
Back
Biceps
Triceps

May include Another Chest workout in between the Back and Biceps.

Overall, I am looking to just get a bigger upper body but hoping to get the strength to go along with it.

If your wondering why everything is a bit low, this is actually the first year that I have been consistently going to the gym. My first 3.5 years I never went consistently and am kicking myself in the arse for it.
