New Personal Record on Overhead Press

I'm bad at overhead pressing.  My overhead is about 65% of my bench and it should be closer to 75%.  I have shoulder impingement which makes the overhead motion painful at times, so I have to be careful when lifting.  When I stay up on my routine "rehab" work, I'm generally ok, but there is some ebb and flow to the pain.

Anyway, today turned out to be a very good lift.  I threw 270 lbs over my head.  It felt good, and perhaps if I hadn't done so much volume early on, I may have gone heavier.  By year-end, I'd really like to be pressing my body weight overhead, and I think that is a doable goal.

Here is a video of my top few sets (6-8 of 10), followed by today's workout:
