Just to make sure I'm straight on this stuff:
supplemental: moves that mimic
accessory: totally different moves that help build strength

Examples fo r bench press
supplemental: close grip bench
accessory: pressdowns

I know it don't make a hill of beans in the greater scheme of things, but I sometimes get the 2 confused when reading different posts, articles, etc.

Thanks.

I agree
I think they are the same thing, though an accessory lift could be something realted to a totally different move/lift that affects or improves a lift/event- like face pulls are an accessory lift to bench, because they can improve your bench set up and balance etc etc but are reallt totally unrelated to benching.

Shit, i don't know. Never thought about it really.

Thanks, JHB. I knew I had seen it in an article over there, but was too lazy to look back through and find it.
