- Doing different routines is good, provided it's every 3-4 weeks minimum. Periodization should only take place when your gains start to slow to a halt. You should stick to a certain routine for at least a month. If you keep switching exercises, you won't be able to track progress.

-I bench 315 for at least 7 reps with perfect form without a spotter. Bad example...Regardless, form does play a important part yes, but, if you have to put a little body english into an extra 2-3, you'll gain more muscle and it'll be more beneficial than to just quit after say 5 with "perfect" form.
