Madcow 5x5 Ab or calve work?

[cubuff27]

Does anyone do additional ab or calve work with this program or is it essentially built in with all the power movements?

Ab work is fine.

Personally I haven't seen any change in my calves whether I train 'em or not, so I haven't trained 'em in months. I doubt it would hurt unless it hampers your squat progress.

I read an article of chad waterburys where he says that there is no need to do ab work because he says if you do deadlifts and squats that they will build your abs enough.

So its your choice.
