How could I forget?

Height: 5'8
Weight: 180

Bench: 270
Squat: 355
OHP: 185

Goals
--------
Height: 5'10
Weight: 185

Bench: 315
Squat: 475
OHP: 235

Last year I was 5'6, 125 lbs. With a bench of 145 and a squat of 200. I feel as if compound routines such as routines by Frankie NY, Bill Starr, and Joe DeFranco has helped.

how old are you? IMO, Push/Pull is way ol' school like atari, might want to consider a routine based more off of physiological facts like Max OT or DC.

5x5 push pull with lots of rest excellent bulk/power routine. is your ultimate goal strong man or bodybuilding either way 300 is a lofty goal. Train hard!

OK Jake I dont know how to post a link fairly computer illiterate, but here is a site ExRx (Exercise Prescription) on the Netgo to weight taining go to develop a workout: template click it and then click push/pull. If you have time cruise around this site a little it fairly informative on all aspects of training. Hope you like it bud!
