Boy, you best be trollin'.
You can make gains without any kind of muscle confusion, but they'll be slower and plateus will be both more common and more difficult to break through.
Maybe you've gotten the wrong impression. 'Muscle confusion' doesn't consist of making up a new routine every day. You can switch up between two programs every month, you can choose to alter your program only when you plateu or start seeing abnormally slow gains, you can take one day a month off as a shock day, ect. It doesn't fuck up your normal progression, at least if you're any good at making/using proper routines, and it'll keep you progressing at an optimal rate.
Your body adapts. That's what it does. It's been demonstrated time and again - Weider's Principle of Muscle Confusion, Wolff's Law, ect. You make your gains by placing demands on your body that it's not used to. If you lift a lot of heavy shit your body will produce more muscle so that lifting heavy shit is easier. If you do the exact same thing every day your body will adapt and make it easier and easier and more and more natural until you're unable to make any further gains. Every time we take a step it's as if we're doing a one-legged calf raiser of our bodyweight, yet when we actually do our calf raisers we don't need to use >2x our bodyweight to make any progress. Why? Because it's different. Maybe only slightly different, but different enough that it warrants the creation of new muscle. The same holds true for every other muscle in your body.
Don't just assume that because your body is slower to adapt than most that muscle confusion is bullshit. Everyone's body is different.
