Awesome @Giles. What is your sticking point on deadlifts. Sounds like its from the floor to mid shin or knee. Make sure you keep pushing your legs into the floor constantly through the lift. Do not even think about your back. Think legs pushing down into the floor.

Sorry to be hogging this thread, but the mere fact of documenting what I am doing is added inspiration to try harder.
2 weeks ago, my PB for leg press was 12 reps at 173kg. 10 days ago, I failed at 183.
Today, I did 213kg and felt I could go further.
I am frankly amazed.....

@Giles and I have been motivating each other for the past few months in preparation for tuna fishing in the fall. He sends me updates on new exercises that he's trying which I try and incorporate from time to time. The progress has been good and a nice change from some of my normal goto lifts. Yesterday I added Bulgarian squats for the first time...
I don't know if I should thank him or kick his arse the next time I see him...

I have always loved natural weight training. In my 20s I let my weight get away from me and got to about 20 stone.
Sorted myself out and in my 30s got in pretty decent shape.
In my late 40s now but still in good shape and lifting heavy. Really just focused on functional strength now and overall health.
