PTP Deadlift, Press; Press

I have been reading Power to the People by Pavel. There is a lot of info that I buy into 100%. I tried to do the workout today. Based on my 1RM tested a few weeks ago, I workout up to:
Press
105x5
95x5

Deadlift
265x5
240x5

The PTP program talks about various types of periodization. All good stuff. However, in the PTP program all one does is deadlift and press. I want more variety. Later, I did another press workout following my current template. It looked like this...

Press
95x1
115x1
125x1
130x5 (84% 1RM).

I have learned some stuff from PTP, no doubt it will influence my current programming, however, I do not think a program based on 2 lifts is the best one for me.
