1st Day back in the Gym after Meet

Today, was our first day back in the gym after our 3/31 meet.. It also marks 3 weeks from when I injured my back deadlifting. (Quadratus Lombortum muscle) .. By now the back pain is gone, and my plan for rehab is as follows:

April:
No Deadlifting or Heavy Squatting
On my Dynamic Squatting days, I'll go up to about 315 Raw, focusing more on Reps, Speed, Stability, and form.
I'll still do my max-effort benching, but I'm substituting my Dynamic bench days for Repetition work for the next   90 days or so to build endurance and lean muscle mass.

May:
I'll start heavy squatting again

June:
Start pulling again and see how it goes.. I'll be switching to sumo and alternating my overhand/underhand grip for mix up the back tension.

Today's workout 4/6:

Close-Grip Bench:
4 sets 205 x 15

Squat up, Standing Military Presses: (This is done more to build lower back stability than for shoulder work)
115x10, 135x8, 155x6, 155x5

Seated Row Mid-Grip Rows:
120x10, 140x15, 160x15, 180x15

JM Presses:
95x10, 115x8, 115x5, 115x5
