Training 2 x a week templates and how to program it, Have a really rough work and school schedule , want to hit the weights 5/3/1 style , and do some conditioning on free time, What Template for assistance / accessory movements should I use . Need help with the confusion .

bench 5/3/1
pull ups - 3 sets
dips - 3 sets
day two -
deadlift 5/3/1
press 5/3/1
glute ham raise - 3 sets
leg raises - 3 sets

The FSL after Squats and SLDL after Deadlifts are plenty right now. When I quit making gains I will re-evaluate.
Deadlift 5/3/1 FSL / Bench 5/3/1 FSL, Chins/Dips S/s â?? strict BB curls, Neck Work
Squat 5/3/1 FSL / OHP 5/3/1 FSL, Hang cleans into Front Squat- Back extensions s/s Ab rollout, Neck work. Should I add a horizontal pull? -----
Reasons for training two days, 1) School/Work/Life 2) want to incorporate more focus on mobility and conditioning 3) Jim Wendler supports 2x a week training so it must make you awesome.
comments are appreciated .
