[00:00:00]Stop doing every exercise out there. A systematic review published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning found that excessive rotation of exercises can actually hinder muscle growth and strength. Changing movements too frequently means our nervous system never gets efficient at any of them. Any efficiency is exactly how progressive overload happens. What you should do is pick a small number of movements, get brutally good at them, and add weight and reps over time. The research is clear. Variation should be systematic and purposeful, not random and constant.
