Okay I have had a severe shoulder injury which put me out of the game for a long while, haven't really been able to work out properly after that and lost all motivation, I dropped down to 69kg.
Currently I have been at it for 3 months again and weigh 78kg, here's a progress picture of my back thus far:

My goal is to reach at least 85kg at the end of the year and 90kg @ 10% by june 2014.
(Don't underestimate muscle memory)
I eat ~5000kcal a day at the moment.

oops, edit time T_T hastily made the foodplan, thanks.
Edit: The total Kcal and macro amounts are still correct, I just had to copy/paste the foodplan from two seperate screenshots, to make a proper image. didn't line it up properly.
edit2: fixed ^^

Fuckloads of volume with pleeeenty of food then. Not bad.
I won't judge too hard but from my own experience I'd recommend a few changes:
Front Squats >>> Lunges. More carryover to back squats, great ab exercise and just overall great. Heavy stuff, 3sets of 5 reps and always beltless.
Swap around the order of OHP and incline DB BP. My triceps is often fried when I finish the dumbbell bench press and even more so if I add incline presses aswell and I think that OHP has a higher priority than incline db bp.
Deadlift always comes first after warmup as it is my first prio. Pullups and rows after that.
I see that your goal is to gain mass but you can't go wrong with a little strength focus and since you'll be eating so much you will gain weight no matter what you do.

Can't do front squats with my shoulder currently, have issues holding the bar. and my front deltoids are getting enough load from the presses alone, I value a good incline press over a decent overhead press ^_^

Mega short arms and thick chest allow for a wider grip and shallower press, which makes it at least a little easier than your average 5'9 160lbs guy lifting the same thing.

That girl had an amazing arch. Made it look easy too, now I feel weak.
|
Wouldn't that put a lot of strain on her back once she started getting to higher weights?

Oh yeah, time for this

Seeing that made me max my OHP out just now. Needed to press 72.5kg 1rm to reach my goal for 31/03/2013, since I'm now on a cut it kind of had to be today, and I did it! Met my goal early, full credit to Smolov Jr and steak and ale pies.
GOALS UPDATE
Deadeight
18/03/2013 to 18/5/2013
Bodyweight: 100kg to <95kg
Squat: 3x5@167.5kg to >3x5@155kg
DL: 205kg 5rm to >220kg 1rm
Press: 72.5kg 1rm to >67.5kg 1rm
First cut so my goals are kind of vague, 8 weeks seems like a good time frame. Hopefully I won't lose more strength than that, and if I can drop let's say 1kg a week I'd be down to 92kg, I'd be pretty happy with that. Calorie counting is hard though.

Todays workout: (pounds)
Bodyweight 145
3x5 squat 165
3x5 bench 115
1x5 deadlift 175
Lifts were easy today, was expecting to struggle with the bench. I feel like my deadlift form is awful so I'll lower the weight to work on that. My squat however feels fantastic, and I'm managing to go super deep.

Benched 100kg today. Feels good to be part of the manclub.

Thinking of doing the base smolov cycle for squat and bench. Doable or am I nuts lol?

I would not recommend doing them at the same time. If you did, I think you'd have to do them in two separate gym sessions per day, like bench at lunch time and squat in the evening, it'd be too tiring otherwise. I'd recommend doing the squat cycle and doing 3x5 bench/ohp like SS on mon/wed/fri. Then do the Smolov Jr for bench when you finish the squat one, and when you start squatting again do it after your bench sets.
You risk either benching then not giving squats your all, or blowing up on squats and having a shitty bench cycle.

Well since somebody did a goal update ( it reminded me) and my goals were set for the end of the month, I guess I better give an update. Since I pulled a muscle in my back around a month ago I'm not where I had hoped I would be and I'm not in any shape to try a 1RM. Only going to do light reps for now. Guess I should update my goals though.
