Honestly I would describe it as providing a break from the same old stimuli. It's semantics but providing "different stimuli" still just sounds like a different way of saying the same thing about different sections. Or that different stimuli, i.e. variety causes growth or strength gains in and of itself. But your body doesn't adapt to random stimuli. It has to be repeated, similar enough, and one has to represent a greater stimuli than the last.

It comes down the same thing as everything else, the kind of weight you're putting up and for advanced lifters it comes down to keeping the bar moving. You do complicated things because you NEED to do complicated things. Not because there is some advantage to complications fundamentally. At least that's how I see it. I've never noticed a bit of difference in growth with different angles.

If I could keep my bench moving by just pounding away at flat bench at this point: I would. Or decline of whatever.

I'll ignore the rest of this thread.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
