Time for another update. I watched this video and was able to identify a problem with my deadlift form. I made the small change of setting up with the bar a little further forward and saw an immediate improvement. I've since pulled 225 for 11 reps. It had been a while since I last tested maxes, so I decided to do it today. Here's what I got:

BW: 161

Squat: 275
Bench: 245
Deadlift: 285
Total: 805

The squat felt grindy enough that I didn't go for 280. Same with the 245 bench. After I got the 285 DL, I set up for 295, rested about ten minutes, re-chalked and went for it. No lift. I'm still happy to have set four PRs (if you count the total), broken an 800 total, benched over 150% of body weight, and I'm like 75 lbs away from catching up with this chick.
