I’ve managed to continue working out as I’ve moved through California, Boston, Chicago, and Seoul. I seem to be hitting a limit with my upper end, though my middle range is improving. For example, I’m having difficulty pushing past my 145 max bench press, but I can do more reps at 135.

Thus I am switching it up. My previous workout plan has been 5×5x12 at ~70% (5 exercises per each muscle, 5 sets of 12 reps, at 70% of max). I’m switching to 5×5x5 at ~90%. After working out back muscles, I’m in a great deal of pain, but it’s fun. =)
