I’m doing the Arnold split where I do basically each body part 2-3 times a week. Should I change my workouts in one week?

I do chest/back, legs, then shoulders and bis and tris. Should I stick with doing the same workout routine throughout the week or should I change it up: where 1 day I’ll emphasize upper chest and do incline, and then the other chest day I’ll do regular bench, for example.

I don’t think I was clear in my question. So my split in one week is 1. Back/chest 2. Legs 3. Arms 4. Chest/back 5. Legs 6. Arms 7. Rest.

My question is should I mix up my workouts during the week. Like first day of back/chest I do incline, for example. So on the next back/chest day should I change it to regular bench and mix it up? Or should I stick with doing the same

Generally you want to run a routine about 6 to 8 weeks then change it. Also what you change it to will depend on your goals. If its bodybuilding then find your weaknesses and target thies areas, if its power lifting do the big three but change up your accessories to improve your main 3. So it really depends on what your goals are. It's always good to try something new or just vary up what you do

If you are talking about Arnold Schwarzenegger his approach was to just work out all the time and take his body by surprise rather than following a set routine.

Stick with it for 5 or 6 weeks. It takes that long to see results.
