was writing a program for a client and decided to do it pro bono so i could put it out publicly since i hadn't put out any programming for free in a while. If you are looking for a straight forward strength and hypertrophy program, here you go!
General rules - On the high rep sets start out week one light and on the lower end of the reps. You should be trying to progress on weight, reps, AND sets as the weeks go on. Also, I don’t care if you use the EXACT exercises on the assistance work. I obviously have no idea what equipment you have available at whatever training facility you use. As long as they fit whatever lift/body part is being targeted. If you don't know your maxes on these lifts take a week and figure them out. Dont kill yourself though. You just need a close proximity to your 1RM. The last thing you want is to get injured before you even start a new program...or ever in general.

Keep the general theme of each training day the same but give yourself a mental and physical break. Do whatever exercises sound fun that day but make sure they fit within the upper/lower theme of that day AND most importantly, are restorative. Get sweaty, get a pump, stay under 60% of your max, and rest anything that hurts.
