List: Top 5 favorite Accessory Exercises for Olympic Weightlifting I added this year.
October 21, 2015
- Rear leg elevated single leg split squat (driving through front heel to activate the glute).
- Single leg DB RDL.
- Behind the neck Dip N’ Split
- Single arm split leg DB press (pressing with the same side as the leg that’s out front. Again pushing through that front heel. Alternating feet.)
- High pulls (all variations). We’ve always done them but they come up more frequently with the emphasis on upper body involvement and “activity through the middle.”
Come at me bro.
Honorable mention: Single arm farmer carry. (Both lats engaged. Elbow slightly bent and reaching behind. Neutral spine.)
