If you're looking at safety, a power cage with the bars set will do the trick. Or swap out BB for DB for presses.

If you're looking at forced reps, you can do drop sets or add bands (assist rather than resist) to continue lifting for extra reps. For quicker drop sets, use some light plates (2.5# or 5#) which you can rapidly strip from the bar and continue a few reps.

For DB moves you can self-assist in some lifts using your other arm, or have lighter DBs to hand for additional reps.
