Muscle Confusion

[millerbrendan]

I know muscle confusion is important for growth. But do you switch excercises or the amount you lift or both. Like go to a lighter weight for higher reps for a month then go back to heavier and lower reps? I have limited choices for excercises I can do and I want to keep growing.

Why do you have limited exercises? Normally, muscle confusion is changing up exercises and doing different exercise variations/doing exercises in an abnormal order. You could change the weight, but if it's still the same exercises it won't be as effective.

I'm in a really small town and have a small gym.

dont get caught up in the so called muscle confusion. after a while of doing the same thing, a person will stall. that's when you change something. progression is the key

you can do the same exercises and change the sets and reps. example, instead of doing squats for 4x8, do 5x5, then maybe 3x15 and so on

..muscles don't get confused only the brain does.. do a well structured routine based on the 4 main lifts is doing to do the trick..add a rep or two each week till you get what you want then add 2.5 / 5lbs and till you get the proper rep amount add 1 or 2 reps . Then when you get that add some more weight..
