just got home from the gym at the start of week 3 so heres what happened tonight.

squats back upto 55kgs but felt a lot more comfortable at this weight going to keep it at this for the next work out then think about increasing again on friday but play it by ear, id prefer to progress slow and steady than go to fast and burn out. Bench went up tonight and felt good for it, i am getting bit fed up of my gym they dont have a anything i can use for deadlifts above 45kgs on a fixed bar!! there arent any other gyms around near to me i can afford to go to i have spoken to the management and they said that they will think about getting some better free weights that you can use away from the rack but arent sure. can anyone suggest what i should do. should i change the deadlift for another excercise or just start adding either sets or reps to the weight already? is it worth trying to deadlift with dumbells or would this mess up form?

also got myself up to drinking 4 pints of milk a day over the course of the day and have been trying to change some of the shakes i have during the day for some proper solid food like tuna and veg or nuts or something similar just thought it might be worth trying to get more proper food than suppliements down my neck.
