Stale exercises! Here's what to do

Exercises can become ineffective after doing them constantly for long periods of time.

This is why swapping or rotating exercises is so amazing for hypertrophy. You can swap a stale exercise and add a new movement that hits the muscle from a different angle.

This will provide a new stimulus to the muscle, breaking your plateau.

And when you return to the previous exercise after some time, you will notice that your strength has gone up and you hit a new PR.

This is why you should not discard any exercise thinking that it is suboptimal.

You need a roster of movements for maximizing hypertrophy.
