When you feel you don't make gains.
Saying that changing your routine in an X amount of weeks is necessary is bull. It all depends on your feelings. When you feel it doesn't work anymore, change it.
No offense ex_, you're an advanced bodybuilder too

i should try that. the main basis of why i was switching was because i heard that the best mass gains come after your CNS adaption phase which is about the first four weeks. then after about 8 weeks the mass gains slow down. -read that on this forum so im not sure its true.

This is right, but when your CNS adapts to workouts, your muscles stop growing too. It is all connected to each other buddy.
It cannot be that if your CNS is used to the workout and you still make gains.

try using 2 workouts per muscle group, and put each one on a different day...this is what pretty much EVERY pro does right now....like chest:
Workout 1:
Incline Dumbell Benches
Flat Bench Barbell Benches
Incline Dumbell Flyes
Workout 2:
Decline Dumbell Benches
Swiss Ball Flyes
Flat Bench Dumbell Benches
Workout 1 on Monday, rest a couple days...workout 2 Saturday/Sunday/Monday ... either one

I never do the same workout two weeks in a row. I either change the order of the exercises or the exercises completely.Its called "instictive training" and it prevents boredom and always keeps your muscles guessing.
