Maybe you would benefit from an undulating periodization program where you are doing low reps/high weights one day and medium/medium the next, and high/low the next. It might help to keep all aspects happy without causing overtraining ...

It's something which I'd thought to put in this program or rather which was in my last 'anti-KISS' program, but for this one I was stimulated to try for lower reps.
I still think that mixing up all rep ranges in 1 workout and hence be able to emphasize 1 body part more with the lowest reps/highest weight/more sets and then do less weight for the other parts that were trained before was a good idea.
It just looks very complicated. As long as I have my sheets with me, it's not a problem. But apparently I overestimated how much thought other people are willing to put into a program.
In that sense people at JP are more like me. I mean.. that forum was focused on how you look very much, which you can manage with 90% diet and 10% routine and any routine is good
PL-ers work much different but they focus on very low reps.
I'm originally an endurance cyclist and very good at doing very high rep stuff.It doesn't really matter to me whether I get strong in very high rep routines or in very low rep routines, as long as I advance.
I focused on very high reps for too long. Which brought me too much carb cravings, exhaustion and ... no body recomp. From that extreme I went too fast to the other extreme. The high rep workouts are wonderful for blood flow, joint health and burn tons of calories too.
My joints, which are very tiny and fragile, just won't handle all that weight that my muscles CAN and DO handle. This is why I suddenly have that bum hip, shoulder and wrists.. they just aren't strong enough. And never were.
