Is it a good idea to make 5x5 and 3x8-12 for the same muscles? In the same workout?
Example: benchpress 5x5 then incline 3x12

Lower it to 3x5 for the main lift. 3x8-12 for assistance lift. That's essentially the thinking behind wendler's 5/3/1

Yes it's perfectly fine. I would alternate between 5x5 and 3x5. So keep going 5x5 until you fail then do 3x5 with the same weight then keep going up till you fail again. Do a 10% deload then go back to 5x5. I broke a plateau with this and am currently benching 225 for 5x5 at 170.

You mean is it ok to do accedsory exercises? Yes it's ok to do accessory exercises. Why wouldn't you already be doing them?

Not that anon, but basically with 5/3/1 you'll do 3x5 with varying weight> pic related
for three weeks then a deload week. You pick an assistance exercise which you do for 3-5x8-12. You can repeat the same exercise but I prefer doing a different exercise. Ex. Bench as main lift dips, incline, or dumbbell for assistance. I recommend getting 5/3/1 just Google the pdf.

Cont.
If you're still making gains with SS or a linear progression don't switch scrape for all your beginner gains

I wouldn't call incline bench an accesory lift but I guess you have a point

>>35551390
Good advice but do you mean it in relation to the question I asked

I'm doing hepburn routine for two months nowm which is pretty much exactly that.
8x2, then 3x6. You do one more rep every workout at the end, until you reach 8x3 and 3x8. This is when you add weight and start over at 8x2 and 3x6.
