TRICEP ASSISTANCE

Pure Power Included....
jm press
floor press
dumbell tricep extension
pushdowns
skullcrushers
close grip bench

I myself revolve around jm presses, dumbell tricep extensions, pushdowns, and weighted dips. If I had a power rack, I'd be hitting the floor presses hard too. Also did normal bench press with chains. It is big on your triceps too, especially when all that weight comes onto the bar as the chain comes off the floor, and it really adds up in your lockout area.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deejay Spike Included....
elbows out extensions
french press (= close grip bench press sorry)
overhead french press

Anyone ever did close grip bench with chains? Even hits the tris harder then reg. close grip or reg bench. Take about 10Ibs of your normal CGB and add two 5/8" chains (1 set) or two 1/2" sets

Phil T Included...
think that good mornings are excellent for glute/ham/lumbar strength. If you do them properly, they hit the hams harder than stiff-legged deads! My squat is getting back (recovering from a hip injury) and I think good mornings are a big reason why. I'm up to 225 for 8-10 reps for anywhere from 3 to 5 sets after warmup. Try 'em. Theyr'e grrrrreat!

Abdominal Work: do one or more of the following. Note exercises "A" & "B" works either front or oblique depending how they are done, AC@ through AG@ are for the front abdominal and AJ@, AK@, & AL@ are for the oblique muscles, and AI@ works all areas. Be sure to always work both. (Usually 90% of all abdominal work is exercises AA@ or AB@ because these are done standing which is how your abs are used in a meet.). Be sure to go heavy on Friday and Monday but ab work can be done every day.

Lat Machine Abs: Stand facing away from the machine with a rope held to back of the neck. They are done to the side to work the obliques. A medicine ball can be held between the legs for additional pressure. These are usually done for very high reps. Also these can be held statically for up to 30 seconds. Also these can be done continuously for 1 to 2 sets for 2 to 4 minutes. These can also be done sitting in an incline seat facing away from the machine. OR
Leaning Abs: Attach a strap to the squat rack and your belt and lean back and do crunches with weight. Also can attach to the side of your belt and lean to the other side to do oblique. OR
Hanging or Lying Leg Raises: Use weight when possible with either knees bent (roll shoulders forward when doing these) or straight. Also each rep can be held for 5 seconds. OR
Hanging from a chin-up bar: Raise feet to the bar for as many reps as possible. OR
Weighted Sit-Ups: These are best done with the legs straight so the hip flexor are worked as well. You can also use a cable held to the back of the head. Also these can be done on sitting on a ball. OR
Spread Eagle Sit-Ups with weight: Place legs in a AV@ or spread eagle position and so that they can be held stationary (possibly under a squat rack) then do sit-ups with weight held to forehead. OR
Seated Zercher Squat: Sit on the edge of a bench and have partners hand you a bar which you will hold in the bend of your arms and then bend forward trying to bring the plates as close as possible to the floor then sitting up again. This exercise also works the lower back. OR
Static Sit-Ups: With legs straight pausing each rep in a half sit-up position for 5 to 6 seconds while holding a weight or cable to the back of the head. You can hold a medicine ball between the legs to increase pressure on the abs. Also can be done straddling one leg for single rep sets. OR
Hit your abs repetitively with an iron bar: Hit all the different areas. This will teach your abs to contract individually. OR
Side Bends with dumbbells, low cable, or with bar across your back: You do not need to bend far for any of these exercises. Try to use weight approaching body weight. OR
One Arm Overhead Side Press OR
Russian Twists: Lay face up in a regular hyper extension machine with your upper body hanging off with dumbbells at arms length twist from side to side. You do not need to bend far for any of these exercises.
Drag weight: These can be added as additional work to your program. Drag weight on this day (and Monday) for 6 sets of 200 feet each. These can be pulled on a flat surface or up a slight grade. They can also be pulled in any one of the following manners. Forward or backward (these should be done standing upright, not leaning or bending over, and keep the weight up on the heels). Forward with rope held between the legs at knee level or lower. Or with the rope around your ankles in each of the four directions (forward, backward, and to each side). If this last option is used simply go to failure in each direction, you probably will not be able to drag 200 feet. Otherwise drag up to 135lbs or more on this day walking as fast as possible
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CALF ASSISTANCE

P0w3rl1fter Included ...
glute ham raises, standing calf raises, seated calf raises, static calf holds, donkey calf raises (all diff. hieghts), bent over (at waist) sled drags (also a bad ass excercise), farmers walk (different surfaces)

tiberias: tiberais raises

Just a little joke . I was just wondering who came up with such an arbitrary rule.

Although I'm not getting bands right now because I have to purchase an ab lounge first.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
