So I am 17 years old, started off at around 5'9, 125 pounds about 2 months ago and now I am 145 pounds. I do a full body routine 3 times a week... (Squats, DB Bench, Lat pulldowns, overhead press, dips, curls). Only thing is i completely skipped squats until last week. So i wasnt doing any exercises for legs until i realised it is a huge mistake last week hehe. When it comes to eating, I try to eat 3000 cals a day, and sometimes go above that. Anyways I just want to know if im doing alright or not.
This is progress in the gym:
Squat - Started doing it last week So doing 40kg for 10 reps.
DB Bench - Started off with like 10kg dbs in each hand doing a few reps... Now I do 17.5kg dbs for 12 reps
Lat pulldowns - Only started doing these recently, I do 50kg for 12 reps, idk if thats good or not xD
OH Press - Started off with 8kg dbs for 10 reps... now can do 10kg for 10 reps
Dips - Started off doing bench dips, was able to only do 10 dips. Then progressed to being able to do 30 bench dips... and now I started doing actual weighted dips and can do 5 of them.
Curls - Started with 7kg dbs for 6 reps, now can do 10kg for 6-8 reps... but I end up doing less since i started doing the curls at the end of workout so biceps are already hit pretty hard so i do like 9kg dbs for 12 reps on first set, then lower to 8kg dbs for like 6-8 reps!
When it comes to visual progress, when i was 125 pounds I obviously had like flat chest and 10 inch arms hehe... Now chest has popped up a bit, a thin layer of fat around core, arms are now 12 inches and when I bring down shoulder and tighten core I can actually feel the lats xD
Thanks for taking the time to read this whole thing and please be honest... tell me if Im doing alright or not and if u have any tips, feel free to share them!

Re: Is this good progress?
Any progress is good progress Considering your numbers are going up in the gym and your body is changing... I'd say you're on the right track! Keep it up!
