imo, 2 months is too long for one routine, i think about 3 weeks is a good time for an EXACT routine, though you should do a couple different excersises per body part that you norm wouldnt do, just do you dont get one sided, for example, if you do barbell curls and a few other excersices and dont do preacher curlls, then you will become stronger in barbell curls but not so much in preacher curls. But if you keep the first 2 or 3 excersises per body part the same and then the next 2 or so switch it up and you will get really good strength, tone, and gains in fullness.
and then once the 3 weeks or so are up, change up the first couple excersises that you do in your workout, getting all the aspects and strengths of each muscle group enhanced.

2 months is fine for a routine. Bodybuilding takes time and changing all the time won't produce solid mass. You need to give your muscles time to grow as much as possible with that certain set of exercises before moving on. Why change when you're still growing?

keep it simple man, you can do the same routine and just change up your speed or training or Reps! (12-20) / (6-8) / (9-12) I mean just changing your rep range is enough you don't have to change your ENTIRE routine.....you can if you like to keep it interesting.
