Stiffness and aches after unaccustomed exercise, aka Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.
Note the unaccustomed. Probably why you're unfamiliar with the term.

Its been a part of my life for so long now I'd feel strange without It tbh, I'd say to the point it actually provides comfort, no pain and something must be wrong.

I used to get horrific doms, particularly from squat and bench. More recently I have been doing all the big lifts 4 times a week. No more doms! Planning to move back to 531 though, so I'll be joining the "fall onto the toilet seat" club again soon I suspect.Its been a part of my life for so long now I'd feel strange without It tbh, I'd say to the point it actually provides comfort, no pain and something must be wrong.
My delts constantly ache, is that DOMS?
In fact, since I hurt my back slightly, I have been doing crap, lifts aren't really improving from a month ago and front delts/shoulders ache most of the time.
I try to just plough through it, but I just feel weaker on all main lifts right now, dammit...

was going to sy the same, my advice as before is go and see a chiro, something's not right and you're going to make it worse.
i'd say your aches are not DOMS but more nerve related from back issues, never ignore or work through back injuries until you've had some pro advice (and i dont mean a doc)
its the good advice that you just didnt take...

Chris, take a week off.
Don't lift a thing. It'll do you the world of good.
Thanks - will have next week off from lifting, and perhaps just do abs work, and stick to a maintenance diet. Am swamped with work anyway...Don't lift a thing. It'll do you the world of good.
Yesterday reasonably short but hilly bike ride, just over 40km, nearly 700m of climbing, average speed 31kph. Slight head cold but felt good.
This afternoon, running. Hill repeats - 12 x 500m efforts up a gradient roughly 5% or 6%, getting on for nearly 400m of elevation squeezed into the 6km. Utterly draining.

interesting, read the first bit, but want to give it proper attention so added to my growing reading list from you 
The estimates are way lower than using the calc from herehttp://www.exrx.net/Calculators/OneRepMax.html
from my sets I know I can do 10 reps for.
Here is the formula I am gonna use this week for 1RM testing.
https://www.t-nation.com/training/how-to-warm-up-f...
from a quick glance it looks very similar to the system of Pyramid training that i,ve always used as my basis for warm up and hiiting max, typicaly for FB 1 x 20 / 1x 15 / 1x12 / 1 x 6 / 1 x 4 / 1 x 2 never go to 1RM anyway seeing as i train on my own with nobody around
fancy shaking my chest routine up with something completely different this week as chest (only) has become lacking in DOMS recently
any suggestions? I was thinking 1000 press up chalenge over the day or max amount in 1/2 sort of thing.

1000 press ups in a day! Way too easy. A few years ago I was wondering whether it was possible to do 1000 press ups in an hour. I think it probably is, but I didn't manage it. I got 850.
Yesterday's training...
No squats or DLS atm I need to let my knee get fixed.
Bench. .. and this is the protocol I'm going to follow for my big lifts
About 5 or 6 sets working up to a max triple. I got 135kg
Then three sets of 6 leaving 1 or 2 reps in the tank. I did
2 x 6 at 115kg
1 x 6 at 120kg
Bench row
2 x 8 at 120kg
2 x 6 at 140kg
Incline DB press
3 x 5 at 50kg
Neutral grip shoulder to bar chins
3 x 4 at 15kg
Weighted jacks
3 x 15
