I have the book, good read even if i don’t do the routine now.
5/3/1, Coan/Karwoski, whatever… All good. That being said, you’ve only given your lifts, not your goals and other info…
Given that you posted this in the bb forum… 5/3/1 on the main lifts is fine, I just wouldn’t go with the assistance templates from the book personally.

5/3/1 with BBB conditioning is pretty good. There is a good spreadsheet somewhere out there.
I saw something on another site, a natty BB is using 5/3/1 and he says it’s working great. He is currently following week 1 as normal including the assistance. He does BBB for the first week, then week 2 and 3 he picks his own accessory lifts.
I’m guessing he doesn’t take a de-load week on the fourth week, which is just as well because it’s probably not needed outside of powerlifting circles.
5/3/1 is the truth, m in my second cycle and have seen gains on every lift every week with heavier weights and better RM’s and PR’s. My Lifts are lighter than yours and i am seeing gains, You have to really take a humble look at the workouts and realize that your preparing your body to get stronger and that means lower weights.
