What are the top 3-5 assistance exercises for squat, bench and dead for a raw lifter in your opinion?

[BigJon55]

This really depends on what your weaknesses are but the ones I listed here are the ones that have helped me the most:

Squat: Paused Squats, Front Squat, Good Mornings
Bench: Narrow Grip Bench, Floor Press, Incline Press
Deadlift: Block Pulls, Front Squat, Cheater Barbell Rows from the floor

[RS6759]

Squat: Deadlift and Squats
Bench: Bench
Deadlift: Squats and Deadlifts

You will get a different answer from everyone. It's dependant on your strengths and weaknesses. Some exercises simply work for some people, and are less stealer for others.

For me personally:

Squat-Front squat, SLDL
Bench-Pause wide grip bench
Dead-Block pull, snatch-grip dead

I agree though, with the other guys who said that the three competitive lifts should be the bulk of your training. I do the same volume of assistance year round, but the volume of the Big 3 rises and falls depending on how close a competition is.

There is no top assistance exercises bro. It is based on your preference and weakness. Example my lower back is weak, i could do GMs or lower back extension. Yes, people says GMs are good but i personally feel that lower back extension has given me more benefits

Squat: front squat, high bar atg
Bench: close grip, military
Deadlift: rows, pull ups

[GetHimABodyBag]

Just me but high rep assistance I like Kroc rows, RDL's, face pulls, curls, tricep pushdowns, and dips.

lower rep assistance: deficit pulls(1-2 inch), push-press, front squats

I blindly do whatever Jim Wendler tells me to do.

[angramainyuJR]

ones that don't bother your joints/tendons

ones that address your sticking points
