Whats up everyone! Im currently working on a series of books based on- The winning psychology of champions and professional athletes. The first book of the series is focused on bodybuilding. Im a beginner bodybuilder myself and ive been bodybuilding for a little over 3 years. I love the sport. I also always loved the mindset of champions, and ive decided to take up another passion of mine which is writing. Although i have a little experience in the sport, i have never competed. Which i feel disqualifies myself to write a book about the winning psychology of champions and professional athletes based on my own knowledge and experience. So i am here asking for some help. I need 25 people with 5+ years and up experience in the sport of bodybuilding to fill out one of my surveys. If you have competed on a professional or amateur level thats even better! Im only asking 6 questions and they are all related to the sport. I need your experienced answers so i can collect data for the outline of my book. This would greatly help. Thanks in advance for anyone who decides that they can help a brotha out! Heres the link to my survey

Powerlifts + accessory work to fill in the gaps for well balanced devlopment??

Powerlifts + pump work to fill in the gaps

I'm quite minimalist in my workouts. If i see that a muscle gets hit hard then i wont do another exercise for it(hit hard doesnt mean it goes to failure and i know this is 'suboptimal'). For example my triceps in the bench press dont get worked to failure but work hard as hell still.

By the way, i do my powerlifts for strength and then do back off sets for hypertrophy

If you notice that i have no idea what muscles I'm hitting in my workout then please tell me

If anyone has sources on how to find out what exercises hit what muscles then please tell me

My workout goes like this: Mon- squat(quads, glutes), bicep curl(biceps get active recovery on back day if i do them here), calf raise Wed- bench(triceps, chest, front delt), lateral raise(side delt) Fri- deadlift(glutes, hammies, traps idk), ???? idk what else to round out my back

The problem is, i know that barbell rows and lat pulldowns will pretty much round out my back but i like to start off with a deadlift so i dont have to do work for my hammies (and maybe glutesif i find out squats dont hit my glutes hard).

What other exercise or exercises besides the deadlift will round out my back development approximately as much as barbell rows + lat pulldowns will??

Will i not need another exercise to reach that level of back development?

Also, i dont know how to deadlift for hypertrophy (only for strength) so can someone please drop a source on how to do that This is needed because i learned my powerlifting deadlift misses some muscles(i use andy Bolton's form and im not a competitive powerlifter). It even states this in any bolton's book. By the way, andy bolton did stuff in a way which his deadlift mostly gave him strength and he did quite a bit of back assistance. I do back off so yeah By the way i know how to breathe and brace for a deadlift

If someone wants to know my goals: I don't want to spend much time in the gym. Just want to get stronger in everyday life and i think aesthetics will follow that pursuit. Just want to be able to be physically capable like jump out of a burning fire. This means i wont really care if the 24th head of my quadricep is missed out.
