Notes -  The highlight here was the pressing effort.  This was surprising. I could feel my upper back helping me get through a sticking point and to lockout.  I attribute that directly to the increases in my deadlift, absolutely.  This was pretty exciting. A heavy deadlift is going to help a lot of shit, period.
