Good stuff. My assistance is set up a little different than recommended. I do squat assistance on DL day, DL assistance on squat day, stuff like that. I like to get a full body workout every trip to the gym, more or less. I’ve got a lot of goals, so I’m probably “chasing too many rabbits” at once, but I’m feeling pretty good about it.

Sometimes I will use a more full body approach to the assistance exercises. I think that as long as you are not working the same muscles too often (depending on how you respond to volume, etc.) and are getting adequate nutrition and sleep then you will be fine. It’s all about works for YOU, not the “miracle” workout plan.
