Starting Conjugate: Standard Bench Variations
When programming exercise variations, it is crucial to remember that you want to get the most gains out of the least amount of variation. This means sticking to the standard variations without adding further variation to the exercises as long as you continue to PR and make gains. As much as a new exercise variation can be entertaining, don’t trick yourself out of what is currently working just because you are bored or found a new exercise on social media.

The intention of max-effort training is to lift the heaviest weight possible, with the goal being to recruit the greatest number of motor units possible.
