What other variations are you training during the week? You could simply add some beltess touch and go (pause at the top) pressing in. You could also do press with a pause at the same spot the arms would be, or just a lower ROM press where you train the ROM that you would with pins, only without pins. If it’s a development week you could also do some close grip incline, or close grip flat bench.
