Strength & Conditioning program on the bodybuilder.com site and had a question. I was under the impression that in an effort to keep your body from adapting to your workouts, you should change up the exercises every two or three weeks. After reading this article and looking at the templates, the exercises only seem to change every 8 weeks. Am I missing something? What is the advantage to this workout scheme?

With everyone that I've trained, I've had to change programs everywhere from 4-10 weeks in order to keep their progress moving foward. Find what works for you and go from there.

If your an experianced weightlifter, and you are doing the same set/rep scheme with the same rest periods everyday, you will probably adapt within 3 weeks. -------------- Iron and chalk.
