How long do you stick to one routine?

[G.P.]

I'm asking those who have gained a good amount with PE.

I'm curious, when you set a routine how long do you stick to that routine? Do you change it or just stick with it till the end?


Thanks in advance.

Everyone has a different answer but I'll start a routine and stick with it for at least 3 months. If I gain I keep going for another 3. If I stop gaining I'll tweak it by adding something new and go another 3.

If I still don't gain I'll drop some and add some and go on from there.

All in all I have more months in which I don't gain than those where I do. It's important to stick with something and not give up too quick, and also to know when you need to move on to more advanced exercises when you're just starting out.

I would say to give a routine at least 4 weeks- unless it's causing you pain or ED.
