I am planning on dropping to two days a week in the gym through the holidays. I will be skiing a lot during this time and want to have more time and energy for that. I am trying to decide between having the main work and supplemental all in one week (i.e. Monday: Squat 531+supplemental, bench 531+supplemental, assistance Thursday: Deadlift 531+supplemental, press 531+ supplemental, assistance) or spreading it out across two weeks (i.e. Week 1 Monday: Squat 531, bench supplemental, assistance, Thursday: Deadlift supplemental, press 531, assistance, Week 2 Monday: Squat supplemental, bench 531, assistance, Thursday: Deadlift 531, press supplemental, assistance). Do folks have experience running one method vs the other? If you squeezed everything into one week how was your recovery? How much time were you spending in the gym? What supplemental work was best for this schedule?

Hey all, I need some inspiration. I'm trying to bulk for the winter but I have the challenge that I have two places to live. The week is split 50/50.

At place A I have a full gym available and follow 531 BBB.

At place 2 I just have a 16kg kettle bell and this it.

My approach for now is to continue BBB but let it bleed into the second week, and at place B I just do a circuit of Swings, cleans, presses and bodyweight work up to 1 hour.

Is this a valid approach in my situation or would you recommend something else? Oh on top of that I do an average of 3 days Muay Thai or boxing training.

So I'm doing 531 BBB, cycle 6 and I've found that I feel more fatigued than normal despite deload weeks. I've thought is it worth it to either pause 531 to incorporate more hypertrophy for muscular endurance or should I continue the cycle while doing a PPL split of suggested accessories?
