Monstaface hit the nail on the head. Listen to him and everyone else here.

Here is your problem. You should have start at like 70-80lbs bench and 140-150lbs squat and probably 240-250lbs for deads. Yes it will seem easy but you're practicing form. With weights that light you'll be able to load 5lbs every workout no problem and by the time you get to where your max used to be, your body will have started to adapt and you'll lift more.

Take these weights and start there. Thats my thoughts. Anyone else agree?
