Strict workout plan or change it up every workout?

[The KFC Guy]

What's everyone's opinion on this, for muscle gains should you be sticking to a strict weekly workout routine, doing the same exercises day in day out for 2-3 months or change up the workout every time you step foot in the gym?
My muscles tend to grow tired of a workout schedule just 2 weeks in so IMO I like to switch a few exercises around here and there every workout.

Do you guys believe I would benefit more from sticking to a strict routine?

If you need a change after 2 weeks then change it up. Your muscles adapt rather quickly and your CNS likes change too. If you're feeling just beat make a week a deload week. Go to the gym but do lighter weights and fewer sets that week. You have to keep it interesting or training will become a chore.

I guess you could say I follow somewhat of a schedule, I keep everything placed the same just change an exercise or two around every workout and add in some supersets when I feel like I want a pump

I like the routine of the same routines so I can gauge progress and push myself.

but I also like to change things up every three months.

I try to back off on the fourth month, go light, higher reps, up the cardio, give the connective tissue a chance to catch up and heal (you can't tell if your connective tissue is stressed or on the verge of damage until you ACTUALLY damage something, like a tendon). And then on months 5 through 8, change the routine up a bit and increase intensity, usually back off the cardio.

strict routine, maybe have an A and B day for chest day, where a couple exercises are different to some degree. I do this for legs as well where one is more of a squat and quad dominant vs other more deadlift and the back side. But a specific routine usually is best if done properly. The key here is having some sort of progression built in, whether it be reps and/or weight increases etc. If you can manage that doing something different every time more power to you. But I like doing cyclical periodization in my routines, among other strategies. But I'll also change a focus a bit for months at a time etc. When I was following somewhat of a westside template I would change my max effort exercise every week, but I would come back to it several weeks later and always try to push it higher, in fact if I did the same ME movement two weeks in a row I would be weaker the second time. Point in bringing this up is there was still progression even with the routine changing, but even then it was still a strict routine.

I like to stick to a program for 4-6 weeks then change to a whole different program/restart the program after a deload if it worked really well. If changing every two weeks or changing every workout is making good progress, keep doing that. But one of the biggest mistakes I was making for a while was just doing a split and changing it up to often, as soon as I started on a program I've made a lot better progress.
