03/16 Testing day
Deadlift - 200kgx1
Press - 95kgx1, 100kg 2x0, almost had it on the second attempt, but the bar wouldn't budge from about forehead height.
Deadlift still not at previous levels, but at least got the 200 again for a relatively good repetition.
Because of COVID-19, I've frozen my gym membership. Will do home workouts in the coming period, bodyweight stuff. Not ideal for sure, but better than doing nothing.

Hello there again!
I've been back in the gym about a month now, in this post-lockdown Britain that I live in. 5+months of non-lifting.
I found a chinup bar in a park nearby, so I went there to do some chins once or twice a week. See my records below. I've put on some weight since the lockdown as I was just not motivated to fuck around too much with bands and dumbbells at home. The chinups were the closest I had of feeling a purpose in my training. Since I got back to the gym, I've been aiming for twice a week. My mini restart-LP went well (no shit, it works). Currently I'm on my usual 2/3 body routine (or 1 Lower, 1 Upper per day). In the middle of moving flats, unpacking stuff, so once that finishes, I'll probably increase the frequency to three times a week, while also going on some moderate dieting to shed a few kilos.
I'm around 100-101kg at the moment. Goal will be 95kg, then 90kg.

Glad to see you're back at it! The couple of months I had to take off while I was waiting for a home gym were awful. Your strength will come back quickly.
Thanks! Good for you to have a homegym! How's training been going? Yes, surpsising to see how like 90% of the strength comes back so quick. Never went so long without training, in the 10 years, since I started lifting "seriously". Good to be back at it, that's for sure.
I've actually made some real progress since June- multi-rep prs on every lift. I think taking a few months off allowed my body to slough off some of the built up fatigue from many years of lifting. I will probably intentionally take a longer lifting break (maybe 3 weeks) annually from here on out.
