Workout Question??

[Alx]

I workout a muscle a day except for shoulders and back(do those on the same day). Everytime I workout I do new exercises for that muscle every workout. I do this to shock the muscle every workout, is this good or should I do a routine then change it up every few weeks?

whatever works for you. change is never bad.

i tend to not follow the exact same routine ever. even if it's a little, i always try ti mix it up so i don't get bored with training.

Yeah varing your workout is the best thing you can do. Whether It be on weekly or bi weekly basis. Yeah I get bored also with the same stuff all the time, plus the change helps give nice defintion.

of course then there is no way to tell if you are progressing on your lifts if you change them ever workout.

sure he can, it'd be impossible to never cycle back to the same exercises. Alx as long as you're keeping a log, you'll know you're making progress. although sc's right too, if you don't do a specific exercise often enough you won't make decent progress on that specific lift.

well I like to progress each workout and know that I am. If he changes a routine up he may eventually do the same workout but it might be awile and then he might have a lot of wasted time in between those workouts where he wasn't progressing. A good time for a program is about 6 weeks and THEN change it up. it gives you enough time to make progress and learn from it but not enough time that if it isn't working you don't get depressed from it.

Thanx, Stonecold and Psyco I'll keep that in mind when I do bench and curls I'll start to keep a log of my progress.
