Hi guys

I just want to know how often you guys use a training programme and do your'll stick to the same routine every monday-tuesday etc...

The secret is to keep changing.. ..plays / fools with the muscle.every 6 weeks or so

When i started 20 years ago, i wrote everything down on a piece of paper, and walked like a fckn clown up and down the gym trying to figure out that to do next.

After a few months , +- 1 year, you will know exactly what your body responds to the best.

Work out a 6 week program and and work according to that.

If you use the same program, your muscles will get used to the routine, and your gains will slow down. Try and change every month or so.

Also brows the forums, and find a routine that you will enjoy..., Mix and Match and go for it!! there is PLENTY on these forums

Enjoy !

Reason I'm asking is because evry monday-tuesday etc.. I do the same muscle group but diff. Exercises andit hasn't been doing me good.. So now I'm thinking of doing the same exercises for 4-6weeks and see how it goes.

How long have you been in the gym doing this routine ?

And diet ?

Also on this, say i've got a training plan for 6 weeks, for this six weeks do you keep the order of the workout days the same, for example chest on mondays, back on tuesdays, etc or do you change that around as well?

I was doing that last year for about 2months.. N I was out of the gym all december..
Diet was more of a dirty bulk..
I'm back in the gym now 2weeks.. Diet is about 80percent good atm..eating clean..

Nope, i keep that the same

When i am not fcked by the end of my workout, i add the odd supper sets to teach myself a lesson

Thanks man! ja, i've also started adding drop sets and supersets now to end of some of my exercises, and it hurts!

ahhh the wonders of bro science

So how do you explain me making constant and consistent gains on the same program for the whole of 2012?

Aaah, maybe your gains wouldve been spectacular have you changed things around? But you wouldn't know cause you stuck to the same program all year.

I also think theres a miss perception on the whole changing the routine thing.

Here are my thoughts- changing from example normal open grip preacher curls to reverse grip curls targets a different part of the bicep.

Our bodies generally grow in proportion, so hitting one part of a muscle is less effective. This obviously is less true for compound movements which targets a muscle as a whole.

Anyway just my 2c.

compound exercise to failure increasing weight steaderly and then mix and match to change things up a bit variaty but compound as the basics ...but what ever works for u...
