Hm. You just might have convinced me
Plus I'd prob be wise drop the overhead part of the lunges for now until I get a bit stronger.

Well I do 5x10 front squats as assistance for my squats, which is awesome assistance for quads (plus back). I feel pretty damn banged up after those too, like pretty much smoked.
I really do want to work in RDLs somewhere though, always wanted to do them.
On squat day, assistance is supposed to go:
5x10 quads (currently front squats)
5x10 low back (currently back extensions 3x10)
5x10 abs (currently planks)
And on DL day:
5x10 hamstrings (currently GMs)
5x10 quads (currently OH lunges)
5x10 abs (currently pallof presses)
Which means I'd have to drop GMs for RDLs I suppose? Or I could exchange back extensions for GMs, but there is no way I'd handle 5x10 GMs after 5/3/1 squatting and 5x10 front squats. I'd be ok with dropping GMs for RDLs though.
