how often should you switch workouts

[ICEMAN2020]

--okay now i have been wondering, how long do you guys wait to switch your workout plan or the exercises in it-- cause recently i have just been changing things here and there each workout---is that bad or should i keep a set plan for a month----will that not allow as much muscle growth cause the body is constantly adjusting--or does it help---i'd appreciate anyone's advice who knows what they are talking about.--thanx

Change your routine every 4-8 weeks, if possible.

i do this routine cycle almost all the time, and it produces monsterous results....

2 weeks- Foundation phase- High reps, low weight on major excersices and auxilarys.

4 to 6 weeks- Strength Phase- Medium weight, medium reps on major excersises (ex. 4x6, 6x4, 4x8, 5x5, etc....) and low reps high weight on auxilarys.

2 weeks - Power phase- Low reps HEAVY weight- on major excersises (3x3, 2x4, 4x3, et...), low weight, high reps on auxilaries.
