Your style of programming?

I'm using a westside/conjugate approach currently, but have used block in the past. How do you program and what do you think is the best?
 
I know this is old but I’m a 5/3/1 fanboy .used it for 2 years now. I’ve started competing in strongman and just swap in log press for OHP and Ssb squat for squats etc. I find it’s suoer easy to customize based on what I need .
 
Use a DUP scheme built around giant sets. I'll change things up every twelve weeks or so to keep it fresh, or focus on different weak points.

Example being the current program -

Power Movement (Primary Variation)
Technique Movement (Competition Lift)
Assistance Movement
Assistance Movement
Finisher (EMOM)

Power is always set-up the same based on prescribed intensity / volume for the day.

Technique can be either Form, Endurance, or Speed focus.

Assistance can be any of the above, rotating daily.

Finishers are EMOM.

But I've laid out and run various programs. Most are built around the same basic skeleton / matrix. Movement selection depends on where I'm sticking.
 
Congeject Not quite Westside though. I don’t work up to 1rm every max effort day. Sometimes on main lift I work up to triple and do 2 or 3 sets of almost max triple, or do a 5x5 for the lift. I even throw in a wave ladder now and again 321 or 531. I do assistance work very similar to Westside depending on my needs. I drag tire filled with weights for GPP sometimes long distance sometimes speed walk short distance rest repeat. Speed work is probably more Matt Wenning style than Westside but he may have learned all that there. I have adjustable dumbbells in my bedroom with up to 40lb for little 15 minute extra sessions usually before bed time shower and some light off day blood pumping.
