The sets and reps are not bad. Doing a ton of assistance lifts is simply not neccessary.
Yes, also assistance lifts without a real logucal organization for them.
You see programs where people are doing 3-4 chest press variants every workout. What do exercises 3 and 4 bring that 1 and 2 don't? Could you just handle 3 and 4 as light accessories on a second day?
Another issue I see with programs packed with accessories is they frequently run hand in hand with a lack of progressive overload. Instead of developing overload in a core lift, someone just does a lot of lifts.

Exactly. All of that. Assistance lifts need to serve a purpose.

That's why I enjoy the GZCLP 4 day. I overload all my main lifts each week, and hit each of them with a Hypertrophy routine as well. I then throw in 2 accessories for each lift as well and call it a day. 6 lifts, and I'm usually out of the gym in a little over an hour.

There is nothing wrong with high volume but there is a way to implement it correctly which 90% on here fail to do. Throwing a bunch of redundant exercises together and doing them just to do them is stupid. Also no progression on the mainlifts is stupid considering the number 1 driver of hypertrophy or should I say the number 1 indication hypertrophy is happening is increases in strength in the rep range being trained.
Want to know how to implement high volume correctly for hypertrophy, read this or go the muscle/strength pyramids LINK

redundant exercises
This is a great term. It's exactly my issue with a lot of bro splits. People are out here doing a bunch of exercises that are very similar like minor deviations matter.
What it really does is prevent optimal motor development on a major lift that can drive growth.
The question is always what it adds vs what it subtracts.

Weighted Dips 2x6 +50
Weighted chins-25*6/5
Conditioning (10 hand release pushups, 25 70lb kettle bell swings)x 3 rounds( was supposed to be 4 rounds but on the 3rd set I tried to go unbroken and fricked myself)
Chin Ladders
Tonight
Gladiator Day 9:
Warmup:
30 dislocates
15 chins
25 walking lunges
50 jump rope singles
Main:
Front squats-215x3/3/5
DB Romanian DL-90's x 10/10

Conditioning heavy bag x 45 seconds for 4 rounds
Jump rope-200 single jumps
Pullup Ladders
Goals are to be under 10%bf at the end of this program and hit the following
a true 20 rep dead hang chins
75+ pushups in 2 min
mile run under 8 min
65 burpees at the 3 second pace
15 dips with 50lbs on

Those are realistic and difficult goals at that bodyfat % as that puts me around 180lbs. Will move onto gladiator phase 2 after this.

Volume.
5 giant sets of spider bar SSB squats (seriously, they crush me at 255), belt squats, weighted pushups and 50 lb slamball chest passes.
2 more sets of 405x2 deads being pulled down on the negative.
Back and core are ruined from the spider bar and negative deads.

Eta: what's a good sub for the sled drags? I don't have access to a sled but it's obviously there to build trunk power and strength.

Yes it is, I am a pussy when it comes to conditioning, but when I talked to Johnny on Friday he emphasized over and over that I need to stop trying to justify a way out of some of the hard conditioning under the guise of "working smarter" and embrace the fricking SUCK and do hard shite. Work harder not smarter.

That’s why I started boxing again. If I’m going to feel like a bitch, might as well work on my hook while I’m at it.

Power Cleans 155 3x1
AMRAP Squats - 330 (10)
Box Step Ups 3x10
Lunges 3x10
Strap Lay outs 3x10
Calculated squat max-440
Training Max-396
Honestly, I did not do those squats today. I worked up to a single of 365. When I went to do the AMRAP at 335, my body went into straight “frick you” mode. So, I’m using numbers I put up on Friday. It’s good enough and recen enough to use.
Is it too much to have both box step up and lunges as assistance lifts for squats?

Prolly, see how you feel after the next session, if you body says frick you again after then yes it's too much.

You get your big lift in with two exercises that really help compliment it. Hit them hard and heavy and be done. Utilize a progressive over load on the big lift and get fricking strong.
Dude, so much this. I preach this all the time, but I think a lot of people that only do the random assistance exercises with no game plan, think they're doing something right because of the "newb" gains... Which is great and all, but it's just not optimal

Had kind of a rough week last week with my main lifts... especially the squat and deads. I did get sick at the end of the week so I am sure that was the main reason
Don't have my log book on me atm, but some of AMRAP sets last week were:
Squat Day: Worked up to 370x3(RPE of 9). Hit 365x5 the week prior so I was a little disappointed.
Bench Day: worked up to 270x3 with still a rep or two in the tank
Deadlift Day: Worked up to a harder than normal 445x2 I knew going in that it was going to be a rough day... I guess it got to me mentally a little bit.
OHP: worked up to 160x3 with maybe a rep a left in the tank.
Took it a little easy on the squat today.
275x5
315x5
315x3
315x8
Definitely might just work on some deadlift variations this week such as snatch grip and RDLs. If I am feeling good I will go in on Saturday to see my AMRAP for 450

This is true. Initially, your programming can be almost anything and you'll make gains. You have nowhere to go but up.
Plateaus happen. Intelligent programming delays them and helps you break through them better.
I partially blame bodybuilders for the "hitting the muscle from different angles" talk. It doesn't matter if you're doing standing curls, incline bench curls or barbell curls. Getting good at the exercise is much more impactful.
