I'm considering swapping out some of my typical 5x10ish assistance work with some rest-pause sets, maybe some widowmakers for squat assistance.
Anyone tried it?

I usually did it after my main work.

After either the 5+, 3+, 1+ weeks id drop back down to the first set weight and do a rest pause set for bench/OP and a widowmaker set for squats. I never did them with deads, imo it's too easy for your form to go to **** and blow out a disc.

Then id do the usual assistance work.

So, basically what im saying is, just add one in after the main work then do the usual assistance.
