Similarly, I'm hardly stalling on my Press. I usually fail my three sets once, then successfully perform all three on the next try. That's pretty successful loading, in my opinion.
As for weighing more, I think putting on weight is a little extreme at this point. When I began this program, I weighed about 150 lbs. I'm certainly not skinny anymore.
