The use of supplemental exercises is a great way to get stronger with your big three lifts (squat, bench, deadlift). As their name implies, a supplemental exercise supplements one of the big three lifts, and because they’ll be a close variation to your main lift they’ll help you:
- Improve Technique
- Add Volume to Your Training Program
- Increase Strength
- Overload an Exercise
