I have something to admit. I stopped Benching 4 months ago, and Deadlifting 3 weeks ago. What's scary is I've never felt better. This is not to say I have skimped on lifting heavy, I'm simply doing what feels right at the moment. More than anything, I am less fatigued and can lift with higher volume without penalty.
Right now, I am training with Chaos and Pain and a JewGression progression (anything marked with a + progresses with this method).

Overhead Press

Day 2 - PULL
DB Bench Press
Powerclean +

Day 3 - PUSH

JewGression
Using 10x3, 12x2, 15x1 rep schemes
Increase 5lbs in a lift every week. If you cannot complete a progression (any exercise), the next week moves to the next rep scheme. Once the 15x1 rep scheme is appraoched, stay there for a single week, then return to 10x3 at the first 12x2 weight.
Example (each weight represents a different week, assume I'm using back squats for this example):
255x10x3
260x10x3
265x10x3 (last 2 sets took a few sets to complete)
270x12x2
275x12x2 (last 3 sets were done as singles)
280x15x1
270x10x3 (first reset week)
275x10x3
etc
I'm tracking my progress on a google spreadsheet.
So, to the Bench Press and Deadlift, we are not breaking up. We just need some time apart.
