Cable straight arm pull downs are great for lats. Get a full stretch at the top, focus on the mmc and your lats will be on fire.

Any advice on treatment for shoulder bursitis?

You're setup for bench press shouldn't be focused on comfort. It should be focused on getting as tight as possible, and this may not be very comfortable.

I’m 6’6” and 215 lbs, probably around 14-15% bf, and I feel small. My wife tells me I’m crazy for thinking that.

I've been back for a month. From day 1 its been packed except for early mornings, even seen some new members the past few days. The only rules we have are social distancing (not too many people...

Does bar placement matter? High bar or low bar position?

It's worth a try. Might not be too much, occasionally.

I am doing Upper A, Lower A, rest, Upper B, rest, Lower B.
Doing deadlifts the day after Upper B doesn't allow enough recovery for my back.

Did you add a rest day between Upper B and Lower B, with the deadlift option?
