Do CGBP or a press variant.
Kroc rows will do enough bicep. Or throw them in instead of calves. seriously. calves? |

I have some moderate atrophy on my right calf due to 5 knee surgeries and associated nerve damage. I will stop doing calf raises once they start leveling out. Right now the right is almost 3" smaller than the left. I really want to see that gap split in half. But hey if you think I should dump it, I am all ears. |

But hey if you think I should dump it, I am all ears. that was what I was wondering- If there's a specific reason - surgical, structural, etc. that you're hammering calves, its an alright thing... Understand that for "general" strength etc, doing another more compound exercise that ALSO involves ankle movement/calf involvement would be extremely beneficial... e.g. bulgarian split squats, lunges with a barbell, power-shrugs (one of my favorite deadlift accessories... I'm not coordinated enough to do 300+lb cleans, but these are manageable) |

Power cleans.
Anyone who does not do power cleans is cheating themselves. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Power cleans. Anyone who does not do power cleans is cheating themselves. Think about it. If you have no need to train the catch portion (i.e not doing anything associated with putting weights overhead), why not just do the "power" portion of the movement?. Exactly. No. Point. all about goals. |

I think Chinup or pullup should always be in a training split.

I'm running the 531 BBB 3 month challenge from TNation. Wendler recommends tricep pull downs, curls, or skull crushers for secondary assistance work on Bench/OHP days. I'd suggest one of them too. Arms are getting swole.

No. Point. all about goals. I catch every time because that makes it a complete motion and you know you brought the wieght up to the same height every time. But I'm just a hobby lifter, nothing serious. |

A complete montion by whos deffinition and goals? DT point is unless you have a reason to train the catch. Either competing or you want to train for excelleration then why not just train the "power" portion (the bottom ie deadlifts) and get stronger because you can lift more weight. |

On press day do 5 sets of pull ups. Use some bands if needed to get a decent amounts of reps in. I like to finish off with some bro curls when I complete pull ups, u know, for the ladies
