Hey, beginner here, have been running grey skull lp for a while and planning to do BBB in a few months or when my strength gains slow down in gslp. I was wondering how much weight to use in the 5x10 sets IF I do accessory lifts instead of regular (I would use close grip bench, BTN press, front squat and rdls, mainly for novelty and fun tbh). Should I use 40% of TM, just do 50%, or test my TM individually for these lifts?
