There is a standard belief in fitness that one should never stay at the same routine for too long. The belief is that this causes a type of stagnation inhibiting further gains.

Is this really the case and how long at some thing is too long? Too, does this apply to diet and supplementation in the same way as it generally does for exercise?

For those losing weight or those training for a contest the advice should be the same. Both types of people are trying to make gains though the former understand this best as a reduced waistline as opposed to increased deltoid mass. Whichever is right for the person in question, sustained progress is essential.

The question is over mode training. What will give rise to greatest effect in the shortest period of time? Ought one to stay at the same routine, diet and supplementation or ought one to vary it? What about exercise? Ought one to keep at bench presses and fies for instance or should these be periodically replaced with pull downs and inclines? For the person focused on weight loss, should bicycling be regularly replaced with running?

Most authorities recommend varying an exercise routine while maintaining a low fat high protein diet. Little is said about supplementation but the assumption is that  mega dose multi capsules along with innocuous performance enhancers such as green tea are considered helpful. Seldom is anything said about changing the sources from chicken to fish for instance, but the standard  nutritional advice over the last fifty years has recommended different types of foods from the four food groups every day.

The question realiy over regularity as opposed to variety. Which really is better in the long run? Ought one to keep at the same diet, exercise routine and supplement does or should one vary it? Perhaps the answer is in respecting plateaus. That is something all to many of us never do.

When we hit a plateau we generally say what is the use as nothing seems to be working. That can cause the all too common drop out rate which club owners expect every February after the post New Year boom. What we should say at this time is good will come in a month or so if only we keep at what we are doing. That is precisely what does occur when we hang on. After this new level is attained, we can make modifications if we desire.

That is something we probably will want to do as new levels caryy with them increased vitality with the ability to do more in a more comfortable fashion. This may include a need for more of the right nutrition and less of the favored performance enhancers.
