I finally progressed to 4 reps of 45kg dumbbell overhead press.

That wild. I can't even do 4 reps of 45kg barbell overhead press. Then again I am quite a small person. I only weigh 57kg.

Yeah thats the flip side. I am a very heavy dude and it ain't all muscle that's for sure but I'm slowly working towards my goals.

Awesome, congrats!

Remember, form, form, FORM. Please make sure you research thoroughly and/or get a pro consult on proper form. Great tip I got once is to think of each movement as “practicing the move,” getting really good at doing each exercise while maintaining perfect form.

Older you will thank younger you for every moment spent on alignment, balance, weight distribution, etc. and building a foundation that lasts you a lifetime!
