That looks good for coming off a near death experience like last time. Maybe your body was still recovering from last time (I know, different parts of the body, but still can't the CNS just be very burnt out after stuff like that?).

Not training specifically for it right now, wanted a change of pace for ~8 weeks. Felt kinda fat and lazy, not enough rep work. I'll probably alternate RE and ME days every so often when I get back to it so that doesn't happen again.

The squats and DB RDL's were definately the most difficult, after that it was downhill.

Sorry to hear about than man. On the upside, those lifts didn't look too bad at all.
