Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 5  |  Is This A Good Way Of Training? I have 2 routines and I stay on each 1 for 8 weeks. That's 16 weeks altogether. Is the following a good idea to stop myself from hitting a plateau: I do 16 weeks worth of 6 reps on everything and then I take a 1 week break. I then do another 16 weeks worth of 10 reps on everything and take another 1 week break. Then I start over again with 6 reps. HK

Recipes: 3 Rep Power: 230   | I agree, once I find a routine I like and works for me I stick with it. If I start to plateau, I switch in a new exercise. Every week is a fight to keep the weights going up so I can keep exercises I like

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 10  | If I were you I would change reps every 2-3 weeks.In my opinion it would be better.It's up to you.Also change up the way you start your routine.For example: if you normally start with bench then do chest press,switch it up.Start with something else.It has helped me through plateaus.
