so your suggesting squats day 1 and deadlifts day 2? that could work, i thought doing them both the same day gives me more time to recover inbetween lower body workouts
Seemed to me like your set up was close to full body that is why I suggested the change to round it out.

Did you read the article on overhead press? Doug Brignole knows his stuff. It is considered a classic shoulder exercise so people don't question it, similar to upright rows.

But yea man based on your program I see you are doing basically all large compound movements, so if you want to do shoulder press go for it. But you should definitely read the article and analyze your risk.

IMO overhead press is a high risk, low reward exercise.

You can gain strength in many ways.
