Have you considered try a phase of Smolov for the deadlift, snatch grip deadlift, or front squat? Combining a Russian volume program with one of those three lifts would really make your lower body strength sky rocket. I got my pull from 415 to 480 in 9 weeks training on Smolov.
That, and if you opted for one of the pulls you could probably do a low volume pressing routine that wouldn't burn you out to quickly.
@TirumphantAce I haven't tried any of those but that's a pretty good jump on Smolov -I've also heard a lot of good things about Smolov so I'll look into trying that!!
Given your weight here, it seems that if you upped your deadlift a bit you could be a pretty ferocious light weight strongman. That's some great pressing power.
@TirumphantAce Yeah for sure. I thought about LW strongman for a while but my deadlift has always been lacking (today I'm going to try doing a wide sumo pull) so right now I'm just focusing on powerlifting. I might take a crack at strongman once I can get my deadlift higher..maybe in a year or so depending on where it is. Thanks for the comment!
@HHH396 Yeah, it definitely didn't feel like it when I was actually doing it...if I didn't take a video I wouldn't even notice something like that. So yeah, I think you're right though.
good lift!

you're supposed to bent your knees slightly to avoid damaging your knee.

Nice work bro! There was nothing wrong with those,you clearly didn't get any advantage from your legs.
