I know Kane will be real at explaining this to you but basically all you need to do is get away from the mindset that the main movement you are looking to put load on also you're "hypertrophy" movement.

The fact is that it is much easier to gain mass than it is to consistently gain strength.

When you first start out everything has double duty. What makes you stronger makes you bigger and so on down the line. But if you continue to think that will keep working then it becomes like trying to get water from a stone becasue the adaptations become more and more specific the more advanced you get.

Even given adaptations for the beginner are more general, I do think that once you get to the 'beginner/intermediate" stage..whatever that is for you, it is still more efficient to start defining your goals a bit more.

Basically it's about hitting those big movements with strength training protocals and then using other related movements to accumulate volume througout the week.

BTW, I wasn't thinking you were rejecting all the advice. My post was meant to sort of help you clarify things. And you did clarify things so it worked

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
