If I'm doing a 3 day a week 5×5, is it ok if I use a rest day or two to hit some of the muscle groups least targeted in the 3 big lifts and OHP? Like abs, traps, forearms, etc.
that sounds like a fatass routines. 3 days? got something better to do than being in the gym 6 days a week buddeh?

abs can be hit most days they recover faster and don't always apply by the 48-72 hour rule, i train mine 6 times a week resting them once and they've gotten a lot stronger
Yes, as long as it isn't impacting recovery.
Hit each muscle with adequate volume as often as you can recover from.
Profit.

Just add some chin ups/curls after your regular workouts. No need to do that on rest days. 3x8 curls alternated with 3xF chins won't hurt.

If you dl and do rows, your traps are getting enough.

As a beginner do full body. Full body you can only do 3 times a week. Later go PPL or split which is all day er day.
