Should I keep the same assistant exercises for a whole cycle before mixing it up?

e/ I use this calculator

http://blackironbeast.com/5/3/1/calculator

I have the +5% option selected for this cycle, then next cycle I'll select the +10%. Should I stay on 5% or start moving up.. if I feel confident enough?

5/10% I thought it was 5 pounds for upper/10 pounds for lower

So once you're squatting 405 you add 40.5 pounds per cycle?

I'm just a little confused about that. I'm doing chest tomorrow (3rd week 1st cycle) and my last set is 1x205. So that means on my 2nd cycle 3rd week it should be 1x210?

I do whatever assistance work I feel like doing for the day but it's typically the same thing for example I do lunges after squats always, sometimes for long distance light weight sometimes heavy for short distance and sometimes heavy super setted with body weight

Sounds similar to what I do, but haven't you ever thought that being "disorganized" for assistant work every week won't reap the same benefits?

The way I see it is assistance work is assistance work do what you need and nothing else, I sometimes go in and I only do my main left roll out and go home
