and one last question about this topic, because i have 3 different rep ranges, how many sets should perform on the given day? ex on the 10rep day should i just do 2 sets of 10, then on the 6 rep day should i do 3 sets of 6, and on the 2 rep day should i do 4sets of 2???
It is difficult to speculate whether or not it is a good idea. Exercise prescriptions should be highly individualized. It is good that you do have the maturity to experiment with different programs, because this will ultimatley lead to finding an effective program for you. However, do not over complicate things. There are two principles in exercise, which are simple, but effective. The principle of Specificity and principle of Overload. Basically, if you want to become better at something, do it. Also, to get better, you must do more than what you are accustomed too.

Personally, I would not drop below a 6RM on isolation exercises. You are putting a tremendous amount of force on one joint. I would still periodize your assistance exercises, but do not follow the same periodization as you would for core movements.

I would follow the set ranges that are specific to the type of training you are doing at the time. Yes, they will be different.
