Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: 3x8 or 3x5?

Because I feel like I've kinda maxed up neurally for the amount of muscle I have right now. So I need more muscle and then further on, less fat (a lot less fat if I want to jump well, especially off one leg). Obviously at my strength levels and time spent with strength work (which has been pretty solid in the last years though) I can't really have maxed out neurally, but I just feel the need for more hypertrophy for a while, and then switch to lower rep schemes to improve neurally on that added muscle (strength work).
I want more posterior chain muscle specifically. Maybe I should go with more reps in my assistance exercises and keep the reps kind of low in the squats? Like for lunges/one-leg RDLs etc go for 8-12, and for squats go with 3x8 and 3x5?
