You are remodeling your body, and the project needs building materials (protein) and some way to feed the workers (carbs, fats to a lesser extent). Your lifts are...strange to me. Why do you have 1RMs instead of just data for the 3x5 weight you started with vs where you are now? Also, your press seems oddly out of line. And where's your bench?
