1. Strength wise I haven't really been making much progress - However, this could be due to not eating quite enough... have slowly been increasing calorie intake and have started gaining weight again around 4000cals/day.
2. 1-2 months
3. Made it up myself or subconsciously stole it from somewhere
I haven't taken any measurements - only track body weight and strength gains.
Your squat and deads seem pretty low in comparison to the rest mate. Have you tested 1RM? It might be time to give that a shot to not only see what you can do, but also spot all of your form flaws.

Yeah, I tend to struggle with squats due to a dodgy left knee and deadlifts due to sweaty hands.
Haven't gained any strength in the last few months even though I've been gaining weight, so think I'll give something else a go.. such as a lower/upper split like this: Dave's Upper/ Lower Split (DULS) | Muscle & Strength
Although feeling a bit obese at the moment so most likely going to go on a cut so that I look exactly the same as I did at the start of the year with similar strength.
i would consider spreading it over a 3 day week like a Push/Pull/Legs type routine this way you can give 100% to the major lifts as training legs and back on the same day is tasking this may be why your strength is not increasing, but in saying all of this diet must be key neither strength or muscle mass will come if you are not feeding the engine...
