havnt periodized yet... but still gaining... 'question'

[Ben dur]

ive been doing basically the same rotine for months

and i usually work the same rep range

for instance

chest/tri's
DB flat press 3sets 10, 8, 6, sometimes 12, 8, 6
incline DB press 3 sets 10, 8, 6
dips bw x12 weighted x8 & x6
tricep isolation (changes randomly -pushdowns, skull crushers, super narrow bench) 10, 8, 6


basically everything falls into 10, 8, 6 with increasing weight sometimes 12, 8, 6

occasionally i will throw in a high rep day (20, 15, 10)
or try to do 100 bw dips in one workout (no other exercises)

then on occasion i throw in a day of 1 rep max (6, 4, 1 or 2)


back

pull ups bw x15 weighted 10, 6 or 8
one arm DB rows 10, 8, 6
reverse grip pull downs (exhaustingly heavy) 10, 8, 6
bicep isolation (random curl of sort) 10, 8, 6

an occasional day of pull ups, as im sure you have all read about, usually in the range of 100 total


legs

squats 10, 8, 8 or 6
deadlifts 10, 8, 8 or 6
walking lunges -DB- 10, 8, 6

hate legs, nothing extra here


shoulders chest tris

military OR arnold 10 8 6
verticle BB rows 10 8 6
triceps isolation 10, 8, 6
lateral raises 10 8 8



mon chest
tues back
wed legs

fri shoulders
sat back


i havnt changed much of this at all lately aside from random days of max reps and other random days of max weight

im juust shy of 180 some days i exceed 180

and i set personal bests ALL the time
in fact mon (6 days ago) i had my heaviest day of chest/tris to date

should i consider a complete routine overhaul soon even if this is still working?
or should i wait for a plateau?

or should i possibly just change the regular rep range

 

[Ben dur]

now that i think about it

other than just increasing weight imensly
and lowering the rep range a bit

adding in a few exercises and taking out a few

this has basically bee my routine for about the last year

sept. 07 165 10% 12inch upper arm 15 inch neck 32inch waist
oct. 08 178 8-9% 13 1/2 inch arm 16 inch neck 31inch waist

 

[Ben dur]

1 lb a month with no unwanted body fat increase or little increase

is pretty significant isnt it?

should i/could i expect more if i were to renovate my regimen

Perhaps the changes you do make every now and again have been enough to keep gaining. 2 months isnt an abnormally long program length, so it could just be that going for PRs, switching up movements/rep ranges, and simply training hard and eating right have been enough to show you gains.

If you KEPT doing it i expect the gains would stop, but similar things have happened to me before when a program just hits the "sweet spot" for whatever reason.

Periodization is always a good addition to your programming, though, so id reccomend coming up with something more designed than random.

Kudos on the progress also
