Today's workout was as follows.

Press ups 2 x 15 (could barely 1 x 10 a month ago )
Bench Press 2 x 15 10kg each arm so 20 kg total
Incline Bench 2 x 15 9kg 18kg t
Squats 2 x 15 9 kg 18kg t, actually more like 4 x 7 as I have to stop to breath halfway through
Bent over Rows - 2 x 15 10 kg 20t
Shoulder Press 2 x 15 8kg 16t
Arm Curls 2 x 15 7kg 14 t
Tricep Curls 2 x 15 6 kg 12 t
Planks 2 x 45 seconds.

If I train hard and increase reps/resistance whenever possible what sort of strength gains do you think I could make?
To be honest mate, its very dependent on your diet. If you dont eat enough then you aint lifting shit. Eat right and use protein shakes and creatine and you will speed up the process. You should notice strength gains in the first month, they wont be massive but theyll be there. But once your in the swing of things its not unusual to plateau. Eg. Last yr i was bench pressing 120 kg and i still havent really gotten past it (partially due to some shoulder problems) BUT im barbell curling way more ( was only doing weak amounts last yr, something like 30 kg) and now im able to do 50kg with good form for 8 reps.
