Wendler 5/3/1 assist exercise choices?

[soloha]

Wendler recommends a four way split once a week using the base exercises built on the standing shoulder press, deadlift, bench press, squat, supplementing each with two assistant exercises . I like the "triumvirate" example he uses for assistant excercises. These are the assistant exercises I was thinking about. The resulting workout would look like this. Anyone see any problems with my choices? Thanks in advance for any feedback - even if its not positive.

workout 1:
standing shoulder press
dip
chin-up

workout 2:
deadlift
romainian deadlift (Wendlers example uses good mornings, which seem really similar in mechanics to me)
calf press (Wendler has leg raises here; I don't really do much stomach work as the core lifts seem to work it plenty)

workout 3:
bench press
dumbbell incline press (Wendlers example uses flat)
kroc rows

workout 4:
squat
leg press
leg curl

Looks good in my opinion. I wouldn't do the good mornings either I hurt my back doing them while doing them when I went to heavy. Always heard bad things about them really perfect form exercises which scare me it's also the exercise that bruce lee hurt his back on really bad (in his bio movie it was made to believe he was hurt in a fight).

Looks good, I wish everyone understood the PROPER way to substitute exercises into a program!

Looks good. Agree with taking GM's very slowly and carefully, don't be a hero here. Consider front squats over the leg press. Front squats will reinforce back squat mechanics it done properly. Leg press could introduce bad habits carried over to the squat. Also, give yourself a couple of cycles to evaluate this plan before you go willy nilly and change everything up.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I've never really liked leg presses personally, but don't know that many alternatives to the back squat. I was thinking about one legged dumbbell squats, but I'm all for improving form. I didn't know front squats helped back squat mechanics. I'll give them a go for a while. Learning everyday ... Thanks!

i like where your head's at.. if you want some fun, try front squats 5x10 after deads and switch the rdl to squat day in place of the curls.. not imperative but a nice change..
