Time for a change

[JBarsoum]

I have doing the same routine for about 6 months now.. although I am still gaining I think that its time for a change....

Here's my current workout

Monday- Chest (incline/decline) In the following order:

Incline BB...4 sets 12...10..8...6
Incline DB...4 sets 12..10..8..6.
Incline DB Flys 4 sets 12..10..8..6
Decline BB 4 sets (you get the point)
Cable Flys 4 sets

Extra work(depending on my energy level and time of day) I will do various smith machines mostly concentrating on incline movements..

Tuesday- Biceps....in the following order:

Preacher curl 4 sets
Dumbell curls 4 sets (sitting down)
Incline curls (low weight also sitting down obviously lol) 4 sets
Concentration curls 4 sets
Crazy 8's (I dunno if you guys call it the same as I do) basically just 1 set of 32 reps of low weight..
Hammer curls 4 sets
Cable skull crushers( I dunno if I'm callin it right) 4 sets

Wed- Shoulders and Back... following order
Back:
Pull ups 4 sets Usually start with 12 and end with about 7 or 8
then I do
5 different free weight machines (2 rows, 2 diff lat pulldowns, low row)
Shoulder:
Front raise 4 sets
side raise 4 sets
Overhead press 4 sets
Low weight concentrated overhead press(basically start with palms facing chest ending with the same as a reg overhead press)
Shrugs 4sets

Thursday- Day off

Friday- Legs/chest
Legs:
Squat 4 sets
leg press 4 sets
calf raises 4 sets
Smith machines for both quads and hams 4 sets each
Dead lift 4 sets

Chest:

Flat BB 4 sets
Flat DB 4 sets
Flat DB flys 4 sets
Dips 4 sets

Sat and sun are my days off...(depending on my motivation level I'll work some triceps)

I know I know I don't work triceps because I do lots of work everywhere else that they seem to be developing nice enough on their own... I used to have a day for them but sometimes I am just too tired

Please critique and tell me how to change my routine

THANKS!

I guess your right...however wouldn't changing your routine every once in a while help you get better gains?

my idea has always been if it gives you gains keep at it... gains will always slow down, youll never get the noob gains you once did just from switching exercises etc.. wait til you begin to plateau, and then switch it... ride the wave for as longas you can man

I have been getting good gains with doing legs on monday, bicep/tricep on tues, chest/back on wednesday, thurs off, and shoulders/hard cardio(30 min) on fri. Repeat starting on Saturday.
Each one of my exercises come from a different variety but only 3 exercises per muscle group. I taper off each day with an ab routine from supermaine and then do a 15-20 min cardio after, that will fluctuate from slow to fast repeatedly to spike metabolism.

I agree, stick to the same routine if you're still seeing gains.

I forgot, I also drink 3 protien shakes/day. 2 in afternoon and 1 casien before bed.
