Question about doing assistance exercises

[Amazing]

So I've read about some of the various assistance exercises and I was wondering when they should be done. Should they be done as a warmup or as an actual part of the workout?

Thank.

The problem is you're focusing on the things in life that don't really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should ask yourself "Am I on the right track here?". I don't mean to be rude but people like you I really pity. So maybe you could use the few brain cells you have and take advantage of the knowledge I have given you now. Good luck.

Do the assistance exercises after the main lifts. For instance, lets say it is bench day... you could do something like this:

Bench (main lift, 5x5 or whatever)
Assistance lifts:
Yates Rows, Tricep Extensions, DB curls, all at 3x8-12 reps
