Hi Coach. I’m wanting to play around a bit with exercise variations of the main lift for improved strength and hypertrophy. What do you think about doing all of my main staple lifts on one day (such as traditional squats, bench ect), and then have a separate day working these same movement patterns, but switching between 4-5 different exercises each session. For example:
Monday: Chest/Tris/Shoulders (Barbell Bench press & Barbell overhead press plus accessories)
Tuesday: Legs (Babell back squat plus accessories)
Wednesday: Back/Biceps (Barbell row plus accessories)
Thursday: Rest
Friday: Chest/Tris/Shoulders (Bench press variation & overhead press variation plus accessories)
Saturday: Legs (Squat variation plus accessories)
Sunday: Back/Biceps (row variation plus accessories)
For the variation days I was thinking about doing something like this:
Week 1) Neutral Grip Dumbbell floor press
Week 2) Dumbbell Incline press
Week 3) Close grip barbell press
Week 4) Parallel Bar Dips
(Repeat cycle over again from week 1 and try to hit weight or rep PR’s)
