Those are great goals. If you want to be “lifting your husband” strong, look up the starting strength squat and deadlift guides. For upper body exercise suggestions, I think the list above is great.
For injury risk, I would really not worry, given the injury statistics are so low, and they are from people who DON’T focus on technique. The median gym goes is a 30yo guy swinging as much weight as possible around, and he’s mostly fine.
As far as technique goes, define failure as “I can’t do another rep without changing technique” and you reduce your chance of injure drastically.
For the exercises you’re doing now, I’d say there is a lot of “redundance / over-optimization”, e.g. the leg press will train both your adductors and abductors. If you want to do 2 leg exercises instead of just one (like I suggested in the post), I’d pick one form each category): [squat] : Leg press, Back Squat, Front squat, split squat, hack squat, smith machine squat, dumbell-on-shoulder squat, goblet squat [hinge] : Deadlift, Romanian deadlift, good Morning, reverse lunge.
