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.

You're numbers for legs are low too. Keep working your legs and back with compound workouts. It will make a huge positive contribution to your upper body gains.
If you are looking to gain size in the upper body pick a weight you can do at least ten reps of for one set.
