5/3/1 Squat Assistance

[Alexis]

Hi Andy,

I'd love to hear your opinion on squat assistance 5/3/1.
I started incorporating a second squat day "Boring But Big" style after deadlifting (I am doing 3x5 front squat and 3x10 RDL on squat day for lower body in addition).
What rep range would you advocate for 5/3/1 low bar squat assistance?

Thanks in advance

So you are doing this:

Squat 531
Front Squat 3x5
RDL 3x10

Deadlift 531
Squat 5 x 10

Am I correct??

[Alexis]

Exactly this template yes. If I was to pick 10 reps for 2nd days low bar squat.

[Andy Baker (KSC)]

I would just drop the front squats.

Squat 531
RDL 3x10

Deadlift 531
Squat 3x10

Seems reasonable and balanced, especially if hypertrophy is a goal.

[Alexis]

Yeah, pretty much a mix of strength and hypertrophy.
Thanks a lot.
