If you're working out 5 days/week, and you're working each bodypart once per week, not including overlap... ie: working back also works the biceps but we don't count that as a biceps workout. Anyway, this means you're working chest for example, 26 times in 6 months. A twice a week program will give you 52 chest workouts in 6 months. If you feel this is too many chest workouts of a similar nature, and you should change your chest routine every 4-8 workouts, then by all means do so.

However, the reality is your chest will continue to grow with essentially the same workout indefinitely, provided you continue to increase the weight, or the reps, eat enough and get enough rest. This is not to say you can't have 6 different chest exercises and each chest workout pick any 4 for that day. This is essentially what I do. However, that doesn't really change it to a new routine, it's the same routine with varied exercises.

Best regards,
MaxRep
