Re: Recommend a sixth exercise
Grip/forearm work. This helps a lot in deadlifting, so you don't have to quit your sets early or use straps. Plus, a good grip has a good pay-off in all kinds of sports, or even just doing general life stuff. Do grippers, sledgehammer levering, pinch-gripping if you like, whatever. Those are basically strength-oriented routines, but you should be able to add a surprising amount of mass for an emphasis that really is not about mass at all. Your watchband might go from loose to tight, for instance, even though it's only tendons down there.
