Does More Exercise Variation Equal Better...?

Too often I see many athletes using far too many variations within their training, changing up from monthly to even weekly...

When the more you're progressively overloading the same movement pattern variation, the better the actual adaptation you're chasing.

More exposure = greater execution = greater stimulus = better adaptation.

Each movement has a component of skill acquisition (learning to perform that movement) that way if you're performing a barbell back squat repetitively - you're not only going to improve the technical execution but also the intensity and volume lifted over time.

I personally don't have more than around 20 different exercises in my block.

What compound movement (squat/hinge/push/pull) are you going to commit to consistently developing over the next 6 months?
