No need to change things up until you become an intermediate lifter and you start to find it difficult to make progress. Good luck. Hiya Richie:

Im planning on doing this for 12 sessions or so before I head off on holidays for a fortnight. Should I completely change my programme on return to avoid adaptation? Or can I continue this for longer as long as I am continually increasing the amount Im lifting each time (by amount I mean reps/weight/intensity)? Im asking because a lot of more advanced guys have told me that you need to change things up every 6/8 weeks no matter what your doing. That could be tough. There are only so many compound moves! What are your thoughts on this matter? Hi Thomas,
