That is definitely great progress. Are you training specifically for strength, or are you trying to improve your physique? Or both?

If you're trying to get bigger, you're better off to forget about how much weight you're using and do slow controlled reps while focusing your mental energy on contracting the muscle being worked. Strength training is not really my forte, but there are plenty of other guys around here who can give you tips on that.
