Accessories are just that. You should be keeping them on a day that has those muscle's working. In the case of dips you should put those with some sort of bench work (tricep, pec). It doesn't make much sense, to me, to do bicep curls on a day where you're primarily using your legs, imo it won't do anything since they're so isolated (meaning you can't accumulate the volume or fatigue).

The one thing I noticed is that you have ALOT of shoulder work in here. ME and DE MP, same with Bench, plus the power cleans.

The other thing is that if you're going to do an upper/lower split with doubles and triples everyday, then you should probably try and accumulate volume on a weekly basis rather than daily. Meaning a very low volume on monday and gradually increasing it til friday. The way it is set up now it looks to me like the volume would be constant everyday.

You've also got abs twice a week, but nothing really for your lower back. Deads don't really count since you're using doubles/triples and you should really have some sort of higher rep lower back work. If not for increased muscular endurance, then to at least balance the ab work being done.

@Ross: I've always tried for linear progression on accessories even if everything else isn't linear. But sometimes when your heavier movements get really heavy your accessory takes a beating. IMO that's the nature of the beast, as long as your progressing on bench, deads, squats, rows, etc. then it doesn't really matter that you couldn't curl as much or more than last week. You've gotta prioritize something, it might as well be an exercise that you can throw alot of weight on.
