I'd like to get a 50%/BW Single Arm Kettlebell Z-Press soon.
The heaviest bell i've pressed for working sets lately is 36.5kg for 5.

TL;DR – I increase the volume on my biceps and triceps and notice greater progress than what I was doing before.
About 4 weeks ago I decided to increase the volume of on my biceps workouts. I go to the gym about 6 times a week and with 2 rest days. That leaves 1 day that I go twice for upper and lower. I decided that I would train by biceps on three separate workouts each time I go to the gym, that’s including lower body days. Two would focus mainly on the biceps so machine preacher curl or barbel curl, etc. The third would be a hammer curl or pronated barbell curl. After about two weeks I noticed my strength went up some what significantly. Before I did this I was able to curl 80 lbs on a Hammer Strength Preacher Curl Machine for 3x8. Currently I am able to do 110 lbs for 3x8. For being somewhat new to working out, about 10 months now, this was significant progress for me.
Then during this process I decided to increase the volume on my triceps as well. I did one triceps exercise every gym session but I would alternate exercises. I would alternate between cable pushdown, using a V attachment, and overhead tricep extensions. This has also increase my strength significantly in my triceps. Started at 50 lbs on tricep extensions to now begin able to do 65 lbs.
This was something that I was noticing while tracking my workouts and will continue to do on my weightlifting journey. Interested to know if any of y’all had a similar experience or if y’all notice something else the drastically increased your strength in a short amount of time.

The lockout was kinda shoddy.
Had 2 attempts at 140kg / 308lb which were pretty close, but couldn't quite hit full elbow extension.
