I'm not quite sure how, but it seems that I managed to pass all my lifts again. Of course, the Overhead and Row keep giving me heaps of problems, but I was able to get them done this week. In fact, today I felt really good at the gym, which surprised me considering when I started I really was at low motivation and energy.
I had taken Friday off due to lack of sleep the night before, and then I didn't feel fully rested this morning, but despite all that it seems I was actually physically in fine shape.
The squats were difficult, but that's to be expected as I'm getting close to my own body weight, but the benchpress wasn't so hard at all. Even the Barbell Row was a lot more fluid and a lot less tiring this time. In fact, I managed to rachet up the number of reps in my backoff set on both of those exercises from 1x10 to 1x15, just like my lower body.
It really feels like I made some sort of breakthrough recently. I wonder what it is/was?
