i have been sticking to alot of the same movements, but i have been changing sets/reps and variations of each exercises, and recently gone from full body to upper lower split which i am doing at the moment. Doing weights x4 instead of x3

i have stopped researching as much as i used to, i need to get back at it, although i never seem to have time.

what would you suggest though?

Most of the exercises i do are the core lifts and i cant see how they would be replaced.

No Bench press ?? No Deadlift ?? No Rowing or chins ?? No Squatting/Lunging??

What I would advocate, which isn't everyones prescribed cup of tea, is if it still works for you, stick with it.

I train pretty much the same way all the time. It's challenging in itself, to repeat train like that, more mentally stimulating for me, easier to remember what you're doing, and then you don't spend time making workouts, then faffing around in the gym getting used to them, and possibly overshooting your workout times.

If a workout seems to be producing stalled results, I'd advocate dietary changes first, as making pointless workout changes, that do nothing for a month, are an experience I can speak of.

Still it teaches you that Pyramid training, isn't as fantastic as it first seems :wink:

If you do find a workout becomes too stale or boring, then change it, otherwise if it still works, and keeps you stimulated, stick with it. Even if you do pretty much the same thing for 2 -3 years solid.

It's not what you do that matters, but what it does, and how it makes you feel.

Bossman thanks for the feedback, I looked over the past year almost of what i have been doin and the upper lower split seemed to give me the greatest results so i have gone back to doing that program.

I agree dietry changes is a first place to start when wanting to make changes, I have been closley monitoring the stuff ive been eating and what effects it has weight wise, jus trying to find what works. For a while ive been stuck at 13stone, i want to bulk up a bit more so am trialing more/different foods

I enjoy this routine, I gotta say i probably prefer it over x3 full body. I will carry on researching into another program (CW suggests ABBH after 8 weeks of this)
