I train everyday but don't report all workouts. I decided to reduce a little bit the weight on Curl -1kg per arm because I increased too fast and would overtrain. Floor press continues at 41kg per arm. AND the Deadlift is back from 180kg to 145kg. I deadlifted with a rounded back and it was too much for the spine and the muscles of the back. I couldn't continue to lift with a rounded back. It's why I decided to lift with a Straight Back but I had to lower the weight by ~30kg. Psychologicaly it's difficult to accept such a regression but I know it's better for me. Once a while I'll do an heavy single with a rounded back but all the training with be done with a Straight Back and thus a much lighter load. There is no way I can lift as heavy with a Straight versus Rounded back. The distance/leverages aren't the same.

Deadlift : 130, 145
Curl Left Arm : 24, 27
Curl Right Arm : 22, 25
Floor Press Right Arm : 36, 41
Floor Press Left Arm : 36, 41
