I’ve seen worse. I’m guessing you picked your assistance based on what needs most work? I would suggest playing the fluff by ear though. Without it, there’s already a decent amount of volume. Add the fluff and there is a lot of volume.

For sure, direct forearm work, arm work and other fluff like laterals for overall health.
