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.
