I'd recommend doing a deload (less volume and less weight) to let your body recover. Before you go hard on heavy lifts again build your strength up more slowly. For example, do a 5x5 for a month working up in weight, then a 5/3/1 rep scheme the following month. Then hit your 1rep maxes and I'm confident they will be more than before.
Going balls to the wall every workout is not optimal for strength gain have to periodize training and you will get much better results.
