I picked the Deadlift variations at random, we'd each pick the 3 we think would be most helpful to us. So in as much as I like deficit deads, (especially Sumo) it's not as useful for an equipped dead. Or perhaps I'm wrong, some longer range of motion stuff should still be included, equipped or not?

That could definitely work, the partials could be done over a range of different heights as long as the overall volume is maintained.

Yep, some upper back work needs to be in somewhere and if you only want to Press twice then that could work fine. But we don't want to risk diluting the routine with too many exercises or producing residual fatigue if you sandwich the Bent Row between two lower body days. How would you fit that in overall?
Here's what I'm thinking, again just thinking out loud, nothing definite yet:
Day 1:
CGBP (sling) - 6 triples
Day 2:
Squat (briefs/wraps) - 8 singles
Partial Sumo - 6 triples
Day 3: OFF or
Overhead Press - 6 triples
Chins - 6 x
Day 4:
Box Squat - 6 triples
Deficit Deadlifts - 6 triples
Day 5:
Bench Press (sling) - 8 singles
CG 3 Boards - 6 triples
Day 6:
Sumo Dead (brief/wraps) - 8 singles
Partial Squat - 6 triples
Day 7: OFF
Repeat for two weeks then take a week where you train maybe twice a week, at 50% on the main lifts.
Edit - Practically speaking, you could do all that in 3 days per week, if you did 3 exercises a session. We agreed that two main per day is probably the way to go.
