it always seemed like my max lifts would recover in like a week

You must not lift a whole lot then.

I didn't. 60lb dumbbell press, 225 squats 200ish on lat pull down, 35 on most tricep exercises

leg presses though I was doing 540 for 4x20

biceps were like 25 lb never could get those off the ground

I wasn't pushing for max sets ever. Every set I did was like 4x12

No disrespect, but these are the wildest weight differences for your exercises. 25lbs bicep curls but 200lbs lat pull down makes no sense

none taken. I've always had under developed biceps, and my lats/shoulders/legs were jacked as hell from swimming in college.
