I have a full hoist gym at home and a standard bench, I gained way more muscle at a REAL gym.
Different angles and muscle shocking is for forming details, not for growing big muscles. You can do bench, squat and dead lift and grow muscles until almost forever, shocking doesn't mean different workout, just different amount of sets, reps, different weights, you can use the same shit all the time and still gaining muscle. Since I started working out, I gained almot 110lbs, most from iron. I only worked on machines when I started and didn't know anything, so I tried to make everything possible and copy all the big guys, but those were on drugs, so it didn't really matter what they did, they gain no matter what.
