Do you change exercises/order in every workout?

[Meso_z]

For example when i do chest i always change the workout keeping one incline movement, one fly, one flat and lower chest of my choice that particular day.

[iron_dawg]

I never do the same workout always do something different for example:
incline db
flat bench
incline flys

next chest workout
incline bench
flat db
crossovers

i always switch it everyworkout on all bodyparts

[Montague]

I always change something.

To use your example for chest; I always include at least one incline movement at some point.
Sometimes I’ll change when I do it in my workout.
I’ll sometimes switch between using db’s, bb’s or a Hammer machine.

Or I may do the same routine but with a little bit lighter weight, stricter form, and more emphasis on contracting and “feeling” the muscles worked.

But yes, there’s always some (at least minor) difference.
Even if I just change the degree of the bench I’m using.

I prefer to stick with what works. If my biceps are growing on the biceps curl, I won't change it. I give things time and see what works/doesn't work before changing things.

I don't change it every workout.

For example, i've been doing the same chest workout for a while now, but my chest is improving.

If it ain't broke...

same here
I do change around isolations every now and then to determine effectiveness

[garebear]

don't ever do the same workout.

go stoned - create as you feel free.

Usually. But then again I usually base my workouts on how crowded the gym is. Let's say it super crowded & I planned to do front squats, leg extensions, & leg presses. If it too packed (I hate waiting for machines) I may end up doing smith-machine squats & hack squats or something. I generally come into the gym with a basic idea of what I want to do & if it's crowded it goes right out the window.

I will keep the same exercise plan every workout.  Feel I can not get into a exercise  (taking it to the fullest) if keep changing this or that each training time (I am familiar with the old muscle confusion theory). Usually follow a training plan 6 to 8 weeks and than change to something else. Usually changing to the opposite of what I had been doing. Like after 3 to 6 rep heavy PR training, going into much lighter and higher rep GVT. Or general BBing: 3 to 6 sets, per muscle group, of 8 to 12 reps.

Have known a few guy's to change from workout to workout and/or the order of the exercises. They seem to do well with it. Most people I know keep to the planned exercises in training. Individual choice, that's all. Bottom line, what works best for you and you alone. Good Luck.

very rarely

I disagree with #1, agree with #2

For smaller bodyparts I tend never to change anything - I'm always switching around exercises for the larger ones though for some reason.

[Zach Trowbridge]

I used to stick with the same workout for about 10 or 12 weeks, but now that I'm doing more of an upper/lower/upper/lower split, I tend to shuffle my exercises more often.  I have a few anchor exercises that I do all the time, but the supplementary stuff gets moved pretty frequently.

Always different but I always keep the basics in.

Different rep ranges,intensity techniques,order of exercises,etc.,keeps things fresh.

Once you`ve been training for years and years,you have to keep things fresh or you`ll go fucking nuts,plus it keeps the body from adapting to the same old shit and keeps things offguard.

[Bluto]

no because a lot of time there's not that many exercises that will be as good as the one replaced and i feel one need to stick with one exercise for some time to progress on it, trying to get stronger or whatever in that particular exercise and if i would change it around all the time then i had to start all over.

JPM,why 6-8 weeks..........what if progress stops,do you still continue?

I used to train like that and never would waver from my set routine,but found changing things
