"Biggest Training Lie", Main Lift Variations for Growth?

Training
1

Hi CT,
Ive been reading your article ‘The biggest training lie’ about sticking with your main lifts rather than constantly changing to maximise muscle development…

I follow 4 week accumulation / intensification blocks which works well for me, but for a lift like the military press I’ve been stuck making progress even when changing reps and/or volume…

Questions-

  1. So could I change to the push press as a type of variety other than changing reps or volume? Would this still work within what your article guidelines for maximal muscle growth?

  2. If yes, would it be best to stick with the push press for at least a accumulation and intensification block (8 weeks) or longer if still progressing?

  3. If slight changes in exercise is ok, could the follow work for:
    Safety bar squat = Back squat
    Bench press = Floor press

Thanks for the help, appreciate it
