Excluding the Bench press

[nevermind]

You put in your book the importance of training both the OH press and the bench to help prevent shoulder imbalance from only training the bench.

I have found that my press increases more when trained without the gap between alternating between the bench and the press. (On the texas method)

I also seem to find the week after my pressing my deadlift increases with more ease, I suppose my lower and upper back strength increase better with the press than the bench.

Would only training the press create the same shoulder imbalance as only training the bench? I really prefer the OH press to the bench press

Currently bench 92kilos for volume day
press 58kilos volume day
squats 130kilos volume day
deadlift 190kilo for 3

The press works well by itself without causing shoulder strength imbalances. But it benefits from additional upper body strength that can be acquired from other exercises like benches and dips. You will ultimately press more weight if you bench too, and right now your press looks weak relative to all the other lifts.
