Who was that guy that got banned that was always saying "you can't even lift, brah"? So many idiots went by, that I don't remember all of them.

My TKD instructor recommended it. I like bodyweight conditioning because IMO it maintains functional strength better than weight training. I have a brother-in-law who was always into fitness. When he was ~65 he said I can still bench press what I was doing 20 years ago, but my functional strength has really declined. That's kinda stuck with me. Over here convict conditioning would mean getting weak and pasty. America seem to like their criminals super fit and their policemen fat. You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Anyway, pulled 290 for an easy double today on trap bar deadlift (FYI, trap bar weighs 80lb). I really like the trap bar for deadlifts. It takes a lot of the pressure off of the lower back, and makes for a safer movement than conventional style. I ramped up to that weight, and I'm actually a bit ill that I didn't skip 290 and go straight for 300. I don't max out - I won't do any more weight than I can manage for a solid double. I hope by Christmas I am managing 350ish for at least a double if not a triple.

But I'm going to resume training over the autumn/winter and hope to get back to where I was by summer.Yep, I tend to go 2 steps forward and 1 back too. Sometimes more like 1.9 back.

I had got to level 5-6 on each exercise when everything went to hell. Where are you at this time, and what's your projected timeframe for reaching 10? 
I saw this when I was at the mall over the weekend, I'll just leave it here:

I have worked on lifting, though I usually go for more reps than maxxing out the weight. My best bench was 90 lbs. Including the bar. I could do ten or more reps with that, so I guess I could go higher if I wanted to just do a couple reps as heavy as possible. Squats are 220, though I use a machine to push with my legs, instead of standing up with weights on my shoulders. Again, I could likely do more if it was just one or two reps. Those are the two heavy weight exercises I do. Sometimes I do curls, and I could probably do 25 lbs or so on that.

I strongly recommend you dispense with the curls (and any bent over rows you may do for your upper back) and start doing pull-ups instead. You'll work the same muscle groups you would otherwise hit with rows and curls but more efficiently, in less time, and with less chance of injuring yourself. It is simply one of the best upper body exercises there is. 
Yeah, I echo that.
Curls are some of the most useless dudebro exercises there are. They are simply there to work the mirror muscles. Chin ups and Pull ups to work the bis and lats, respectively. And toes-to-bar for the abs/deltoids.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
