here's a few other options:
#1 - train everything everyday so 1 exercise for each muscle/movement all at moderate to high intensity but low to moderate volume
#2 - train everything everyday but 1 exercise for moderate to high intensity but high volume for each session...so day 1 use squats as your focus lift and do low volume for everything else where you might alternate sets of squats with a set of everything else...it's a lot of vol for the focus lift but it's on low volume for the rest of the week so it's fine
#3 - same as #2 but use 2 focus lifts per session so you'd decrease vol for the other exercises even lower then #2 and use the same vol for the both focus exercises as in the focus lift for #2 OR decrease the vol slightly for the focus lifts compared to #2 and keep the low volume the same for the rest as you did for #2
#4 - use a variety of rep types (not ranges) like isometric, eccentric, drop catch, rebound etc and rotate through them throughout the week either having a full isometric day for everything OR do 1 exercise for each rep type per day do day 1 might be squats isometric, bench press drop and catch etc and the next day squats might be pliometric, and bench press isometric
