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

How to pick T1 weights:


In general, alway increase the weight from session to session.
Try to set new rep PRs on the amraps by a small increment
Reset to hit new rep PRs once it gets really heavy (heavy singles, 1RM, heavy doubles)
Embrace resetting - It's the best - It means a new wave of PR attempts
Get some practice with heavy singles. They are a skill.
You can practice heavy singles through the amrap target or just throwing one in.
Personally, I frequently just do one rep at 85-90% after the amrap.
Here are some examples to select reps for the PR targets:

Cycle 1 9 6 3 HS HS=Heavy Single


Cycle 2 8 5 2 HS HD=Heavy Double
Cycle 3 7 4 HD 1

Cycle 1 8 6 4 2 HS
Cycle 2 7 5 3 HD 1

Cycle 1 12 9 6 3 HS
Cycle 2 11 8 5 2 HS
Cycle 3 10 7 4 HD 1

Cycle 1 12 8 4 HD
Cycle 2 11 7 3 HS
Cycle 3 10 6 2 HS
Cycle 4 9 5 HD 1

Cycle 1 10 6 2 HS HS
Cycle 2 12 8 4 HD 1
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. :)

How to pick T2 weights


Use a weight you know will be challenging, but allow you to hit all the reps
This will be impacted by how heavy the T1 is
I track them using the chart above
I know what feels right for a given rep PR target in the corresponding T1
Completing hard sets matters, not setting new T2 PRs

How to pick the second T2 weights and reps


IDK - Do anything that's hard but doable?
Don't do them if you don't want to or can't recover.

Any question ask /u/TheCrimsonGlass :)
