Nothing weird about it. You’re a beginner you’ll make gains so long as you put in the work. I’ve never noticed drinking to have a negative effect on my training and I’ve only done it twice.

Thanks and yeah i know it seems like i can keep hitting PRs forever…well atleast untill today lol.
Out of 1 through 10 i rate this workout 4 =.I’m really only happy about my squat , after that everything went down hill.Could be the after effects of not eating well the other 2 days ago or i decided to wear different shoes to lift today.Hopefully my next session goes great and i go backto normal on hitting those PRs.
Squat
5 x 205
5 x 205
6 x 205 PR lost count and did 6 instead of 5 lol.

6 x 40 PR
Deadlift
i tried doing 225 and only got 2 reps.im so mad…How can i squat 205 but be able to deadlift 225 with good form 5 times? got pissed off and forgot to do my shrugs on top of that…
Dips
did 7 each set . im thinking of not doing them anymore since i feel them in my chest and i want to give my chest a lot of rest before my bench days.
DB Skullcrushers
10 x 15
8 x 20
6 x 20
In other news im weighing around 161 now. Pretty happy about that.
Looks like your doing everything you need so far to progress. Good to see another squat PR… 2 plates for reps doesn’t seem to be very far off at this rate! Don’t worry about the deadlift… some people are naturally similar to their deadlift or a way better squatter/deadlifter… you’ll have things that’ll come easy and things that won’t. I’ve always been able to progress my deadlift at a decent level without too much focus on strength training but my squatting will take more directed focus to be taken up another level, just as my bench will
