Squat A2G -------------- 3x5 180 lbs
Bench Press ------------- 3x5 192 lbs
Deadlift ----------------- 1x5 210 lbs

Skull Crushers ----------- 2x8 55 lbs

Notes:
Back update: I hope I don't jinx myself, but my back has been feeling great lately. I've been doing some simple lower back movements twice a day to keep my lower vertebrae and hips loose. I take a Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplement. I changed my Squat technique to A2G and lowered the weight which means less lower back compression. I changed my Deadlift technique to using mostly lower body. I hardly feel the Deadlifts in my back anymore. And after lifting, I started doing some Ab/Back exercises using an exercise ball.

I'm lucky I didn't do major damage to my lower back. It's a very delicate area especially for beginners like me.

I changed to 5 pound increments, from 10, for Deadlift starting today. I also decided to microload Bench and Military Presses since I reset them. And I'm having really good workouts lately as a result.
