6-8 week switch up work good. Heavier cycles mixed with lighter faster workouts.

Usually for me it's one light then progressively heavier for three sets.
But I also will change up especially when I work out with machines instead of free weights.
Lets say I'm doing rows and the first peg I put it at is way to light sometimes instead of just doing a big increase I'll jut go with little increases in weight and end up doing six to eight sets.

Why not just cycle how you train:

Use a method, when it starts to bother you, switch.

For example, if you use Chaos' pyramid method, then your joints hurt, do 6 weeks of lifting for time - light weights for a minute straight or something, then volume, etc....

You'll continue to be strong, but not wear out.

Right now I'm doing one week at 5 reps, then next week I work at 3 reps, the 3rd week I do heavy singles. Seems to work ok

Same except not so heavy because I tried them sitting on the floor per Grapes recommendation.
