Vary your workouts? I don't want to oversimplify or overcomplicate anything but are we talking about changing from workout to workout? Or not doing the same lifts for months on end even when they stop being productive. Two very different things. Most people do better with some type of basic overload stimulus. It's very bodybuildierish, no doubt about that. So is the idea of training every body PART instead of the body. Leads to split routine with countless isolations. The body is not a collection of parts. If it were, we'd all move like robots.

Heck yes rotating lifts has a purpose. The more advanced you are the more purpose it has. But for a guy first starting out, variety for the sake of variety is counterproductive. Rotating lifts prevents neural burnout and overuse injuries which allows greater progression over time. Variety in and of itself is not a stimulus for growth.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
