Came back tonight and did:

Back squat 100/4 110/4 150/5 x 3
Bench 185/3 x 5 I wish this was kg

So as you can see I have added in bench. This is for two reasons. 1) So, should I feel like it, I can compete in powerlifting without looking like a total pussy, and 2) So my upper body looks like it actually has muscle. Today I took it light (although I wasn't sure how "light" this would be. I was pleasantly surprised) because I want to avoid any pec soreness while I get used to benching again. For the first weeks I'll keep it light, then I'll start looking into how Sheiko programs bench training more and turn my bench training into a watered-down Sheiko-style program. I'm not really the afraid of bench hurting my training because the jerk is my weakness, so any additional upper body strength I gain should be advantageous. Besides, some weightlifters have pretty huge benches (in the heavier weight classes at least).

Not really sure how to incorporate deadlift into all this, considering like 80% of my training is pulling as it is...
