i've been reading on alot of message board that its not a good idea. to do different exercises. just pick 1 exercise that hit the muscle most directly and progress on that. they say you can not shape a muscle so no point in doing different exercises.
Well i agree, taht you really can't shape a muscle a too much. It seems from things that I read/ and through my own experience. Different exercise reqruit the fibers in a different manner. so although, you may not be shaping the muscle better. using some exercise variety will cause the best growth. Sort of like how professional grass keepers, cut the the grass using differnt paths. Fibers recruitment can be altered also by using different repetition tempos.
I've always found that when i go back to an exercise i havne't used in a long time, I get a tremendous pump from it b/c my body has not been exposed to it for a long time.
This post is not a preaching post at all. I just wanted to get you opinions on this as alot of people seem to have very tunnel vision with training on other message boards. I've always took in things Jesse said, so i was just wondering what he thought about this.
opinions welcome
