Here's another point to think about: You can't really shock your body. Progressive overload is more than suitable to "shock" your body. I am into weight training, so i switch up my routine according how my body responds to the routine. For example, lets say my routine is (and sorry if you guys don't know some of the exercises but this is the one i made that i am thinking of starting for hypertrophy) the following. Maybe I don't like doing so many upper body/lower body exercises on the same day because I feel like I am fatigued after 2 exercises.. Then I can switch to a full body routine instead, but I am not going to change the entire program and every exercise. Alterations should be made accordingly and nothing should be set in stone. Sorry if this doesn't make sense to anyone, but I hope it does!
