Hello Mr. Wendler and guys. I have to cut out one training day and I was thinking about doing some full body workouts. I love doing squats so in my opinion this would be awesome. I’m gonna do the routine from Beyond 531 book. And my question is - how to add some biceps, triceps and shoulders work? I was thinking about doing some curls for biceps, close grip benches and weighted dips for triceps and facepulls with some rotatory cuff work for the shoulders. I’m gonna run this routine:
Squat DL
Bench TM
Rows 5x10
Squat TM
DB bench 5x10
Rows 5x10
Squat DL
Press TM
Deads TM
And also I love doing chins between sets of pushing exercises. How to incorporate all of this in this simple workout?
Is there a particular reason you want to add these other movements? Since following Jim’s philosophy on keeping my movements to the ones absolutely necessary to my goals I’ve been surprised at how much 3 movements can kick my ass.
I throw the occasional few sets of curls or shoulder work in at the end of a session if I hit all of my goals for that day. Nothing heavy and never more than 10 minutes. In all honesty though, usually only do that after only 1 of the 3 sessions if that. Since dropping the extra crap my main lifts are moving better and I’ve put on more size, so if hypertrophy is what you’re looking for those extras aren’t even necessary.
