Question re: adding accessory exercises to my routine

katy_trail

i'm in my first cycle of the all pro beginner's routine. The weights I'm using are my 8-10 rep max for that exercise, while still maintaining good form. I'm new to heavy lifting and doing consistent training, but not new to lifting medium and less often, light weights.
I'm loving this routine, and know i can/will continue it for several cycles.
The basic routine is below. I'm doing barbell split squats, because i don't have a squat rack. I'm also doing seated calf raises after
standing weighted calf raises, with the same weight.

My question is when would you add weighted barbel bridges?
My first priority is fat loss while maintaining muscle. Second is epic quads/glutes/hams.
Or would you suggest a different exercise?

*note re:definition of epic for me, I really just need to keep tightening and progressing the way I have been,
and lose a few inches on the hamstrings area.

There's a Q&A for All-Pros that suggests that you wait until you've completed 3 cycles of the routine before you start adding in accessory movements.

Since you're new to lifting moderately heavy, I think this recommendation is reasonable.

yes i posted that in the other version of this question, I figured you are both already familiar with this routine, so
you didn't need the added info. ok thanks, and that was a very quick response
