Pressing Matters: the rest of the Press template

AS OF THIS WEEK, DEADLIFTS are a thing again! I've made the decision to resume pulling, as the tendon is feeling strong. Nothing even approaching heavy to begin with, of course. But with the deadlift back on the menu I've had to review my basic program (again) and make it less basic. And if I want to continue squatting fortnightly, it seems logical that I reintroduce DLs on the alternate week.

The remainder of my pressing program looks like this:
