The ideas I gave are just that. You get your strength training plus some hypertrophy with the added bonus of being able to completely seperate the two of them in your sets.

You can't just "add in" some strength building stuff and expect to make a 50lb gain in your bench. Strength training is an entirely different animal, you need a flexible gameplan. What happens if your spreadsheet says 270x3 but you can't even hit 260x1?

It doesn't make sense to add in strength work after hypertrophy (whether its in the same workout or the same week it doesn't matter) you want to be able to hit a high intensity when you perform strength work. Intensity will get lower as fatigue becomes higher, and with higher rep work it will take longer for the fatigue to dissipate. If anything the strength work would come before the hypertrophy.

You're the one that asked for advice...I gave you some. I'd rather not waste my time though, just my own personal preference.
