The Jossefy-Exercises are pretty much advanced. They cover everything.

If we speak in terms of technical exercises (Czerny et al), rather than etudes (Chopin et al), I would say Brahms 51 exercises are an advanced set that I find quite helpful.

Brahms 51 are commonly assigned to advanced students as warm ups also Liszt's technical excercises are very comprehensive.  A side note Boulanger at the Paris conservatoire used to make her students practice bitonal scales as warm ups and swap hands at the top etc.  A sadist!!
