Stance/Form Cycling for GAINS

It's generally a good idea to switch up your positioning for lifts from time to time, for instance, if you normally do the conventional deadlift, switch to sumo for a month or two, or just switch to a narrower foot stance.

Why? In my experience, when I stick with a particular form like wide grip bench pressing, after a while it seems like my muscles become too comfortable in that position. If I bring my grip width in a bit, it forces my muscles to fire in a slightly different manner, and often times I end up feeling stronger with it.

How? I generally stick with a particular form with my main work sets for about 2-3 months, then switch it up. Every time I've done so I feel stronger.



That's it, just a quick tip that's worked well for me.
