How often do u guys do this????

hey guys just want to know a few answers to my ???? when I'm training should i change the exercises I'm doing every second weeks or so for example if my first exercise for chest is flat bench should the following week be sumthing different like flyes incline bench ???? so that your body does not get use to lifting the same weight and get used to the same exercise this is what I'm thinking

week 1 chest
4 sets of flat bench
4 sets of incline bench
4 sets of decline bench with bar or dumbbells
4 sets of flyes
and Finnish off with a few push ups till fail

so the following Weeks should i start off ith flyes first and mayb decline after and leave flat bench for last and keep repeating this to give every exercise a fair go at getting my max out of it cheers guys hope u understand what I'm saying lol hahahah

I'd keep starting with flat bench and make it your priority to add weight there. For me, what you do would be too much volume, but I wouldn't ever switch up which exercise you start with if you can still progress on your flat bench consistently.

It's just too difficult to track if you're actually making progress if the first exercise changes.

you do not have to shock your muscle by changing your routine, you can to decending sets , drop sets, you can vary your rep ranges so you can stick with the same program just tweek it, like for bench you can alternate from regular grip to wide to hit more of the outer pec and get that gap between your arms and chest nice and filled in. There have been studys out about decline not being the best for development of the lower pec, so try dips / weighted dips instead. Check out arnolds encyclopidea of bodybuilding, helped me out alot in developing a program and very helpfull.
