Assistance Excercises

There was a lot of Assistance Excercises for each lift. How would someone use these in there routine? Would it be on the same day as the lift or on other days?

Once you find out where your weak point is, that's where the assistance exercises will come in. As an example, I had weak triceps in my bench. So, once a week, I would concentrate on tricep exercises as well as incorporate more back exercises. Does this make sense? -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!
