As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, I've been ramping up my lower back/hamstring work on non-training days. Since it's just assistance work, I don't want to bog down my log by posting each workout (if you can call them that) separately, But i'm doing this about 5 days per week. And since I'm already in the gym, I tend to throw in some extra upper-back work as well.

Depending on which gym I'm at, it tends to be a mix of back extensions, pullthroughs, flute/ham raises and abdominal exercises and face pulls, all in the 15-20 rep ranges. I've also been adding in calf raises, and extra arm work, because big arms.

I will typically end every session with 4 planks, of about 45 seconds each, and should work up to a minute by next week.

Boring, but necessary.
