Notes after 6 weeks of training - mostly on assistance exercises

A few notes after doing the program for 6 weeks. 
  • bench press has priority over incline, so it should go first. Incline is really an assistance for bench
  • should perform the pullups on upper day rather than lower, so I can do another squat/deadlift assistance instead
  • issues - don't have heavy weights to do flies
  • don't have heavy DBs to do rows - tbar or other
  • squat/deadlift day assistance 
    • hamstrings
    • lower back
    • abs
  • bench day assistance
    • triceps
    • shoulders 
    • upper back/lats
Previous six weeks assistance:
  • on bench day, did high incline, dips, started with reverse bench, moved to flies, sometimes did ab exercises
  • on squat/deadlift day, did split squats, back extensions, sometimes ab exercise, pullups
Plan moving forward on assistance & order of exercises

Bench Day:
  • move incline after bench press
  • add'l bench assistance movements (aside from incline): 
    • dips
    • pullups
Squat/Deadlift Day:
  • back extensions - further forward to get both hamstrings and lower back in movement
  • ab exercise: ab wheel, partner leg raise or parallel bar leg raise
