How much variation do you guys include in your training? I lift in my garage and lately I've been training legs twice a week. One day starts with deads in a progressive 5x5 routine and one day is squats 5x5 as well. But after that, anything is an option. Maybe I drop the weight and do 5x10 light and explosive with little rest. Or maybe I grab a trap bar and do regular or deficit deads. Front squats, 20 rep squats, straight leg dead lifts, RDL's, cleans, good mornings, power cleans, prowler, anything that involves power and my bottom half. So I have a progressive base and then switch up the accessory work to keep the body guessing. Do you guys follow a strict routine or switch it up? Even for chest or shoulder day I train heavy low rep one week and lighter higher rep the next week and always progressive. I find it prevents plateaus and keep my shoulders and elbows from getting to jacked up. Always switching up my accessory work as well. Even if it's something small like switching grip on a certain lift or adding in a drop set. Should also mention I rarely do any lifts that would be considered 'accessory'. I much prefer big compound, multi joint lifts. Variations can be as small as a change in grip or rep speed, drop sets, rest pause, anything that changes the movement even a little. I find the body has a harder time adapting when u include little changes. And in my mind that equals more growth. Hitting muscle groups from different Angles, adjusting TUT, any little thing to switch it up and keep the body guessing while still performing big compound movements.
