I completly agree.
When one sticks to a work out routine day in and day it, one will get really bored and so will the muscles. You won't be able to progress as quickly as you wanted to. But don't forget that reaching some goals is a long road so be patient.

It's good to change lifts, reps, and sets.

I hear different all the time on how often a routine should be changed. Some people say 6 weeks, others say more. It's not really set in stone.

Not everyone is swayed by every "wind of fitness doctrine" that comes in. Some people have built their houses on the rock. :grinning:
