Have you read the book? It's laid out really simple in the book. It's the 5/3/1 core exercise, then you choose any type of assistance work you want on the list.
Your next cycle depends on your 1RM projection on the "1" day, but downgraded by a certain % so there is room to work on the next cycle I believe.
If you are confused by assistance work, there are just a list of assistance routines that Jim Wendler calls by a certain name.

Each one of these routines is different, and you can pick which one you want to suit you. You always follow the rep/% scheme for the 5/3/1 core, then you pick whichever assistance routine you want after you do the core.

It doesn't make sense because you don't have the book! Buy the book and read it!

Yes, the ebook is cheap. 20 bucks, it'll tell ya everything you need to know.
Just know it's strength oriented, with compound movements. Nothing fancy here except hard work.
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."
