True - i'm happy enough after 5 weeks back given the limited time, but I still really want the bar to be bending like a motherfucker when i'm putting some effort in
At my current bulking-up-for-hibernation weight: squat - 123%, bench - 93%, ohp - 67%, row - 93%, deadlift - 113% (only had a couple of sets of dl - working my way back in). All 5x5 except 1x5 deadlifts - all exercises are starting to feel decidedly heavy now, have started alternating the heavy days with lighter / more reps to mix it up as suggested by @zooeyzooey so we'll see how that goes.
Gonna get me a sweatband and a belt next

Takes mass to move mass, therefore I find it more useful (for comparison) to talk in terms of % of bodyweight.
Lifting 100kg when you are 200kg isn't quite the achievement that it is if you weigh 50kg.
