Workout Routines, how often do you change them?

[Haus of Hell]

As we all know, our bodies adapt to routines and our workout routines should change frequently to continuously shock the muscles and not let them get used to certain training. As I have read/experienced.

I did a 3 sets of 10 reps (3x10) for 4 weeks. Then I switched to a 6x6 routine, for all muscle groups except abs/calves. after 4 weeks of that I'm changing it to a 1x12, 1x10, 1x8 routine.

I change up how many excercises per bodypart I do. I do this by feel, I am pretty in tuned with my body and can feel when I've done a good amount for my body, 3-5 usually.

Whenever I'm on the 6x6 routine; I will sometimes do up to 8 or so different exercises, but keepin the volume the same for the muscle group. For example, If I do 3 exercizes for Tricep normally, I will split the 6x6 to a 3x6 and then do 6 diff exercises instead, ya feel me?

Every week or so I change rest periods from 45s-1m to 1.5-3m range.

What do you guys think of that? Also, what do you guys do and how often do you switch it up?

every 6-8 weeks. also each WO is not exactly the same as the previous week. I like to substitute/play with excercises.

every three months

Exactly, I'm the same. I always include my staples in any style of workout I do, I mainly just change around the "isolation" movements.

Change in workout every 1 - 1.5 months, this jives me time to maximise the weights on the exercises i'm doing before swapping.

I'm an older guy, but my workouts are never the same cause i get bored. I have to change it up everytime. And i like the results.
I also change my rest periods and whether or not i go heavy. I might go heavy for a week with rest in between sets. Then i might go 2 weeks going light weight with very little rest (60 secods) between sets. I get a really nice pump from this routine. It's not a bulker, but you feel it.
