Squat: 120kg (5/5/5)
Bench: 68.5kg (5/5/5)
DL: 132.5kg (5/5, light day)

Squat: 120kg (5/2/2 - ate too much before the session and I felt like I was going to vomit after the 2nd rep on the last two sets - so I thought better not risk it - in hindsight I probably should've gone for it)
OHP: 51kg (5/5/5)
DL: 147.5kg (failed the lockout on the 4th rep so I lowered it to 145kg but even then had trouble locking out on the 5th rep - will attempt 147.5kg again as 145kg went without any problems during the last heavy session)

After a 3 month Corona break, I'm back again. Hopefully this was the last long break for at least a couple of years
Squat: 90kg (5/5/5)
OHP: 40kg (5/5/5/3)
DL: 120kg (5)
My legs (and my whole body) are absolutely torched, I've got no idea how I'll get through the next session.
Coach Rippetoe earlier addressed the topic of how to re-start training, after if you were unable to go to the gym because of the pandemic (start at 42:30):
Rip’s Rant and Getting Back in the Gym After House Arrest | Starting Strength Radio #57
Avoiding soreness is the priority--note that for the first workout, Coach Rippetoe initially says that someone who was squatting 365 before the layoff should come back and do 225x5x3, but then he says do only one work set, not three. He then gives some additional examples.

Forgot to post the past two sessions, no big deal though. Climbing faster than I'd anticipated. Still going to take some time to get back to the pre-break numbers. It has been 3 months after all.
Squat: 95kg (5/5/5)
Bench: 60kg (5/5/5)
Pullups: (6/6/5/4/4) (light pull day)
12/02/2021
Squat: 100kg (5/5/5)
OHP: 45kg (5/5/5)
DL: 130kg (5)
15/02/2021
Squat: 110kg (5/5/5)
Bench: 62.5kg (5/5/5)
DL: 130kg (5) - didn't increase the weight since I want to keep the first day of the week a heavy deadlift day yet I did them last Friday as well, so I'll resume increasing weight next week.
