Exercise Variation Impact on Strength Gains
Varying resistance exercises within a week may not significantly impact one-rep max strength gains, as shown in a nine-week training study. Subjects were split into groups, training specific exercises tested in all sessions against variations of the same exercises. While strength gains in bench press and leg press showed no significant differences between the groups, focusing on exercise variations may be more relevant in less experienced or untrained individuals.
