How Often Do You Change Routine?

[BrandonTX83]

Ok, so most people agree that constantly changing workout routines is important for continued progress. My question is how often do you do this? Do you changed after a fixed number of weeks, or till your muscles stop getting sore or what? In the past, I'd keep the same routine for 4-6 weeks then change. For example on a chest days, I'd hit nothing but dumb bell presses for 6 weeks then change over to bench presses. What do you do?

until you stop making gains on the routine you're doing.... that is when you know your body as reached its potential for the routine, and then change it up a bit.. Just make sure you have squats and deadlifts in whichever routine you use!

JDid, that makes the most sense. Thanks for your input.
