General comments:
There's no magic.
The sets/reps/percentages/protocol/etc aren't some secret combination for gains. I stole most from nSuns
The only things that really matter are putting in a lot of hard work and balancing it with recovery.
The general approach here was a good balance for me as a beginner.
General use:
Fill in the green stuff
Copy/paste to make it however many days you want
Choose whatever lifts you want
Add any accessories you want
Change percentages if you want to.
Leave weight on the bar or add reps if the back off sets are too light
This isn't a program. It doesn't tell you what to do.
This is a little spreadsheet to help keep track of things if you like the sets/reps/progression

It really doesn't matter. I pick mine based on how I'm feeling.
You don't have to go to 12RM or hit every rep PR. E.g. you can just do evens or odds or whatever.
Don't stick to just one.
Find whatever works for you.
Each lift/day can be at a different point, cycle, etc. - E.g. 12RM for bench and 6RM for squats
None of this really matters - Just put in a lot of hard work. :)
