Probably about 115-125. I actually don't remember very well since I used to lift kind of haphazardly. I know that before I started my current routine I was doing about 135 consistently.

I can also squat and deadlift more than my bodyweight now, but I'm not happy about those because they've been stagnating lately. No gains for about 4 weeks .

I wouldn't feel discouraged. Every small improvement is worth celebrating. Many people would think my minor accomplishments are nothing, but I'll pat myself on the back anyway. Keep a positive attitude about it.
