body adapting

I was just wondering how much the body can tell the difference between say flat, incline, and board presses. I no they are all different and stress different muscles in different ways but they are still the same base movement. If this is enough of a change so that you dont plateu could there be a case that just taking a wider grip could count as a different excercise or lowering the bar a different way- bodybuilding/powerlifting with pauses ect. Would this be enough difference for body to pick up on to keep progressing?? -------------- OBSESSION is a word the lazy use to describe the DEDICATED

Using bands or chains, pulling from deficit or pins and changing your stance also works. There is a sticky and the top of the board that list a boat load of variation for bench and squat. -------------- Light bulb shaped people are easy to push over!
