I tried cranking up the routine to have 6 exercises total including my main lifts. I felt like that was killing my body so I think Ima just really stick to basics for assistance and hammer the mains for the given reps.
I've been listening to podcasts and reading articles on how to Improve my...
So I've been thinking, since I currently have 2 bench days and squat days what If I cut it down to 1 day each but do more volume for that workout and use the other 2 non bench/squats days as assistance days?
Is it more beneficial to train movement most or hit accessories hard? (Stupid question)
Week 3 day 2:
Squats 65% @ 290
Used my belt/wrist wraps.
3x8
Good mornings @ 135
3x10
Preacher curl @ 55
3x15
Finished up with stretching. No cardio today.
Week 3 Day 1:
Decided to add in some more accessories for this weeks workouts gonna give it a try and see how my body responds/ recovers.
All main lifts are at 65% this week.
Today was bench.
Bench-(65%) @ 235
3x8 paused reps. (Wrist Wraps too)

Plan is 5 months long. 2 month block of hypertrophy. 2 month block of strength. Then 1 month block of peaking.
Percentages increase by 2.5% weekly. Starting with week one at 60 all the way too 100.
This really helps I'll have to tweak my accessories today after work when I hit the gym. Obviously I'll be keeping my set reps and weight for my comp lifts but with your answer that gives me a good idea on how to tune my assistance exercises to my advantage for this phase.
Day 5 week 2:
Hit squats today.
Low bar beltless paused
Working sets 3x8@280 (62.5%)
These felt fasted then a couple days ago but the quads felt really good.

Db hammer curls
35lb x 12
x 10
x 5...
I see. Now what about reps for assistance. For example I'm currently in the hypertrophy phase of my program should I keep the reps in 8-15 range or can I go lower?
