not true at all. research the russian conjugate system popularized by louie simmons and westside barbell, also the same training system joe defranco uses. if you keep doing the same lift over and over you will eventually plateau. you dont need to do a lift over and over to get good at it. the lifters at westside dont do a regular squat, bench, or deadlift except for competition time. they always do different variations of lifts and switch them up every 2 weeks. no surprise westside is the #1 powerlifting gym in the world. strength training involves training the cns, not muscles (although they do assistance work aside from the major lifts to keep muscle groups balanced) but thats why you see powerlifters that are smaller then most bodybuilders yet outlift them. if you keep the lifts similar such as adding different band strengths, different grips, or different bars you can keep making progress in a lift without stalling out. if your bench keeps going up your triceps, chest, and shoulders will keep getting stronger. its got nothing to do with "shocking" the muscles. its not giving the nervous system time to adapt
@ Spooner yep iv'e noticed big changes in strength from mixing up my lifts. P.S Don't bother trying to argue with viru§, he thinks he knows it all.
Not at all. I can't help it if so many ******s say something ****ing stupid on this forum and I or someone else has to correct them. And feel free to quote where what I've said is completely wrong and maybe I'll think about your feelings before I correct the next ****. Who are you anyway?
Whoa, calm down buddy! You're pretty quick to hand out insults. "I can't help it if so many ******s say something ****ing stupid on this forum and I or someone else has to correct them" Well in this case YOU are the ****** that said somthing stupid and spooner21 and myself called you out on it. "Who are you anyway?" ??? What do you want to know about me?
A large percentage of the members of the forum are ******s, particularly when it comes to training. There's only a few guys on this board worth listening to. I said something stupid? You think working on a weaker muscle group to improve a particular lift and work on your weaknesses is stupid? You have 12 posts to your name and you're starting ****. You another guy that feels the need to have multiple accounts to start BS or what?
i would say switch your routine up a little bit. I use to be a power lifter before I boxed, and whenever I felt myself plateuing I would switch my routine up, or take a week off from training, then when you get back into training it will shock your body.
change things up a bit jeff, if you see what power lifters and strong men do to erradicate this problem, they introduce stuff like bands and chains and hang them off the barbells (think outside the box) for dumbell snatch and clean; id suggest switching to a kettlebell then go back to dumbells and so on, mix it up
