Hey Y'all
I was hoping to get some input from anyone familiar with the Mind Over Muscle program. I've ran it before with excellent results, but am just interested in what others could suggest as strong assistance moves. when I mean assistance, I mean the 3 of 5 exercises are the powerlifts-Bench press/Deadlift/squat. What high tension moves would be a complementary match in your guys' opinions I was thinking along the lines of a couple of these.
Get Up/Windmills/Hollow Pullups/Renegade Rows
I'd like them to focus on what the main lifts are missing. Chin ups would be great for more back workout and unloading the spine but miss the posture part. Get Up is adding more pressing, but would help with full body tension/transfer and leakage prevention. Remember the basis is high tension exercises, so swings and snatches wouldn't belong. Mostly, more postural/upper back and midsection or grip focus are all that would be needed.
So far it's
Squat
Bench
Deadlift
? (Upper back/Posture assistance)
? (Grip/Core assistance)
Any ideas are appreciated. Remember, the lifts have to fit the 5 x 5 x5 format, so grinds only, no ballistics
