I am refining my assistance work ready for starting my 11th cycle of 5/3/1 and thought I'd open it up to experienced opinion. My recent max lifts are: 165kg squat, 110kg bench and 200kg deadlift at 90kg. This is the assistance I have followed for the last 3+ months, it's simply taken from one of the e-books.

For my push press day I planned to switch dips out for BBB behind the neck presses.
On bench press day, I was going to switch the dumbbell presses for CGBP in a lower rep range.
As for deadlift and squat day, any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure I could continue to make gains using BBB but if anyone has any thoughts as to whether another approach would be more effective at my current maxes/experience level please chime in. This goes for all the days, not just squat/dl.
