Current stats:
For deads, squats and BORs, we're already maxing out on the dumbbells (40kgs) which is a bit frustrating.
So, I guess I'll use:
-single dumbbell power snatch+walk: 30kg
was a struggle but managed it
-single dumbbell bench press: 25kg
could possibly manage 3x6 of 27.5kg?
-single dumbbell shoulder press: 20kg
Goals:
-single dumbbell power snatch+walk: 40kg
really can't see me doing that one but if I manage 35kg by end of summer I'll be pleased... just paused to visualise me throwing 40kg db over my head - just can't see it happening
-single dumbbell bench press: 32.5kg
given my previous shoulder injury, I'll be very pleased if I can do this
-single dumbbell shoulder press: 27.5kg
-hold a planche for 1s
-one hand chin up
-muscle up
I like doing single DBs because I'm off balance which makes things more interesting. Also, I feel safer as I have a spare hand to assist if things don't go according to plan so can avoid shoulder injuries, I think.

32.5KG Bench press

40KG squat
22.5kg standing shoulder press
45kg deadlift
Doing the Stronglifts 5x5 regime twice a week.
Goals:
To continue the Stronglifts regime, adding 2.5kg a week for all except deadlift - 5kg a week for that. Would love to load up 100kg on a bar and smash out five sets of five squats!
Add 5kg, with the emphasis on lean muscle (proper ectomorph, hoping I can continue the gains I've seen over the last 2 months).
140kg 5x5 Deadlift (2x bodyweight).
Game on!

Picture is from January - about 10-12% body fat - I am about 8% now
Current stats:
Squat 1RM = 135kg
Deadlift 1RM = 204kg
Dips 1RM = bodyweight +55kg
Chins 1RM = bodyweight +40kg
Goals:
- Iron cross on still rings for 10 seconds
- Planche on still rings for 10 seconds
- Slow muscle up on rings - enough of them to be able to mount the rings properly every time without jumping
- squat 2x bodyweight
I might go for a 3x bw deadlift (at 2.75x now) but probably not, i did far too much deadlifting last year
Whatever the aesthetic transformation is, it's going to involve staying at below 8% body fat and not putting on too much lean mass, or the bodyweight goals will get a lot harder. I am currently around 7.5% body fat. I will probably look much the same but be a good bit stronger, especially in the shoulders (planche/iron cross). I will allow myself to go back up to 77/78kg if i have to..

Might as well join in.
Currently go to gym at work but the Mrs is opening her Sports Injury clinic which has olympic weights in the rehab section which i will be using once its open (month or so time.) Looking to build good lean muscle for playing rugby but not put my weight too high for when i go climbing.
Timings
I'll be starting once the clinic opens and i'd say end of summer for results
User:Rusty1

Weight:75KG
Starting picture:
Current stats: (roughly)
24KG each arm chest press with dumbells
??KG bent over row
80KG squat (1rep) on a smiths machine.
Goals:
100KG bench press
100KG bent over row
110KG squat
I would like to be on 100 for most but i'll be doing the 5x5 stronglifts, same as others so don't think i'll make my targets but would like to try!
Update: 7/8/13
Well here are some update pictures. Work has got quite hectic so i missed a week of training due to 82hr week. Then i'd also gradually lost motivation with the stronglifts 5x5 as kept stalling on OHP. Although reading up on other folk stalling i wasn't the worst but its something i need to work on.
Here are 2 updated pics then i'll ramble on a bit more:
Current stats:
Weight: 75kg (I seem to fluctuate between 74 and 75 through the whole time)
Squats: 85kg (5x5) 100kg (1rm)
Ohp: 35kg (5x5)
Deadlift: 105kg (1x5) 120kg (1rm)
Bench: 55kg (5x5) 60kg (1rm)
Bent over row: 62.5kg (5x5)
So Squats are now 1.3 x bodyweight
Deadlift is 1.6 x bodyweight
Bench is 0.8 x bodyweight
I stuck to the 5x5 so I knew i wouldn't hit my desired figures but i have impressed myself with some of my gains/size and new 1 rep max. I seem to not put on any weight but still feel I have lots of fat, yet i know areas have become more lean. When i spoke to a PT i know, he has said i don't eat enough so i'm working on that to help me get bigger then more than likely i'll have to cut to get lean.
I'm going to try another program (rugby focused one) and see what results I get from that.
