Density training, where you try to get maximal sets with a set weight and set reps using 2 or more movements, is a great way to get in a good amout of volume and to jack up your power endurance and work capacity. My favorites usually involve some sort of upperbody push, upperbody pull, and a lowerbody movement such as a squat or deadlift variation or even a dumbbell or kettlebell snath or swing. The shrug/curl combo is one of my personal favorites for upperbody lactic acid tolerane and crazy grip strength/endurance - try with barbells, dumbbells, bands, towels, etc in various set/rep combinations at the end of a training session.
