I'm doing the 5-3-1 "boring but big" program. You do the main lifts the same way you do normal 5-3-1 but for your assistance exercise you do another main lift for 5 sets 10 reps. So my leg days look like this:
Day 1
Main lift: Squats 5-3-1 style
assistance: 5x10 deadlifts
Day 2
Main lift: Deadlifts 5-3-1 style
assistance: 5x10 squats
I usually only do the minimum reps on the main lift (as opposed to normal 5-3-1 where you do as many reps as you can on the last set). That way I can really push the assistance work after. The 5x10 squats/deadlifts get damn hard when you're using 60-70% of your 1rm.
