IMO growing 10kgs in 20 weeks is fantastic, but unless you do a couple of back to back fat tests, low fluid tests(to show its not just alot of water), etc, to show you have gained bascily only muscle, not just muscle + fat + other crap.

I dont count that as single way to measure weight lifting progress, because how much has the strength increased over that period of time? therefore I believe something along the lines of :

10 reps of 3 sets of bench at 70kg and body weight at 60kg, then a few weeks later your at 10 reps of 3 sets of bench at 80kg and body weight at 62kg. etc...

Ofcourse SOME of it will be fat, you can't put on 10kgs of pure muscle in 20 weeks without roids! So it isn't realistic....

Also you don't need to get a whole lot stronger to be putting on size, nor do you need to get a lot bigger to gain strength.

This is why bodybuilders can be huge, but RELATIVELY weak, whereas, powerlifters can way 60odd kgs and bench, squat and deadlift a whole lot more.
