You have a great base of strength to work with. Just find a solid PLing program(look in the stickies), stick with it, and just keep plugging away.

And work on that bench press

Thanks.. lol yea i no i have to work on my bench press... should i be doing flat,incline, AND decline bench.. I personally think since I am not trying to have a bodybuilder look that i can only do flat and incline because i have noticed that doing incline bench with dumbells helps me alot with my flat bench.. any suggestions?

First your stats don't matter as far as starting to train like a power lifter or not, or even if you want to compete soon or not. Just keep track of your stats and always try to improve them.

Also flat/incline/decline can all be usefull. I find incline dumbells definatly help my bench, decline close grip is great for tricep strength, and obviously you have to work flat benching of some sort to improve your bench.
