About Additional Workouts

Don't treat these as filler exercises. Whether it is weighted oblique extensions or specific cable work for back thickness, these movements are what fix your weak points. If your main compound lifts have plateaued, look at these variations. Add them into your routine to shock the muscle, not to just pass time in the gym.
