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.
