I got the 185 about halfway up, then stalled-again.  Seems like I've hit an absolute max, just over a bodyweight press.  I might make some adjustments with some partial movements moving forward.  The goal is to get back to a 200lb. press at 180 bodyweight.

The 190 felt like a car on the press.  I was hoping for a partial rep but was barely able to move it.

I finally purchased a new digital camera.  I used to film a lot of my lifts, to both review technique/form and serve as a motivator for bigger lifts.  I'm hoping to get back into that and should hopefully be posting-up more videos here over the next few weeks.

That would be way Cool, forward to seeing the pictures and videos.
