i know there is no such thing as muscle confusing but i wonder if changing additional exercises every week while keeping main staple movements the same will be good?

for example my leg day (staple exercises are in bold):

1st week

squats 5x5-10
leg ext 3x15
lying leg curls 3x6-10
stiff leg deads 4x10

walking lunges 3x15

2nd week

squats 5x5-10
leg ext 3x15
lying leg curls 3x6-10
stiff leg deads 4x10
bulgarian split squat 3x10-12


same thing goes with chest/triceps:

1st week

db incline bench 4x6-10
weighted dips 4x6-10
hs bench press 3x10
ez skullcruchers 4x6-10
tricep pressdowns 2-3x15-20

2nd week

db incline bench 4x6-10
weighted dips 4x6-10
crossovers 3x10
ez skullcruchers 4x6-10
db skullcrushers 3x10


etc


do you think it can be a good approach?

this way i can focus on main lifts and progressing on them. but also i can add various supplemental exercises (proferably machines and cables) to avoid boredom
 
I recently changed over my workout from doing the same core exercises every week to pushing some auxillery exercises that go well with the core ( bench, squat, deadlift) my core is now stronger because I could focus on some week points and I think the swap up gained more than the same workout every week. So swap it up and you should like the change and get stronger.
 
If avoiding boredom helps keep you in the gym, then do what you have to do. I really don't think that changing up 1 or 2 of your assistance exercises every week will be detrimental anyway. I always throw in some random exercises after I finish my main routine.
 
I switch up my accessory work all the time.
Today was leg day, so in addition to squats I did split squats, glute bridges, leg extensions, and some straight-back deadlifts. Last leg day after squats I did lunges, kickbacks, and leg extensions. Before that it was GHRs, extensions, and one-leg squats.
 
Agree. Whatever keeps you motivated is a good thing as long as you continue to gain in your main lifts.
