Hi Dr. Feigenbaum and thanks for answering our questions.

I’d like to do some facepulls, lateral deltoid raises,calf raises, barbell curls etc. while running the Bridge 1.0 for “aesthethics”. The e-book says "you can do the curls on GPP days for 7 mins. Can I do the same with other exercises I named here? What exercises would you recommend and which ones you would not?

GS,

Thanks for the post and questions here.

I don’t think I would have you do any of these at this stage of your training right now. I think you should stick to the base program (or beginner template) as previously advised and you can add in more accessory work later on in a different training program.

Thanks for the answer, Dr. Feigenbaum. Is the reason you wouldn’t advice me to do these the recovery problem?

Not really, no, but rather I don’t think they’ll be beneficial for you at this point.
