Beginners program

Personally Mate I would suggest you persist with the beginner program until you get thos numbers up. Are you progressivly adding weight as it says in the write up? Have you stalled at these numbers for a while?

There will be plenty of opinions out there but I think you can squeeze a lot more out of this program before you go playing with more advanced routines.

I would definitely give the beginner program longer...make sure you are doing it how it's written, eg; Eating, progressively adding weight...
Start a training diary...and best of all, check out wingman's log. He is doing this program after an injury, and is doing it properly...good luck

I stalled for a while, around a month or so but since then I started eating more and have started going up. In the last 3 weeks all my lifts have gone up but around 5KG give or take. I have also been gaining weight, when I started i was around 137lbs/62KG, I then stalled at 150lbs/68KG. Now I'm at 155/70KG.

I do squat and deadlift more then I bench? Upper body is my weakness, I am genetically larger at lower body, Plus I would prefer to squat and dead-lift over bench anyway.

as some of the other guys have said, start a training log and post vids of your lifts so we can have a look at your form.
