But you still alternate your workout every 4-6 weeks? That means you have found at least 3-4 different programs that make you grow consistently? Once you have alternated between all of them, do you come back to your first program that works for you and then restart the 3-4 different programs, or you try something new?

IMO, you should not pre-plan a deload. Deload when you feel it is necessary.

And as far as changing routines, only do so if you have reached a plateau and all other options failed in breaking the plateau.

(Deload?? What other options? If you are trying other options, isn't that another routine?)

Is a training log/journal a good thing to keep?
