Ya what RubberDuck said... I find it is always good to switch it up.

Some weeks I won't even go to the gym, I will just go swim even harder for a week or try a new sport out every day, or go to yoga classes every night (which I recommend doing once a week regardless of your routine).

I have found the best results from not getting stuck in the same routine. Every lift I do, every single day, is in a different order. It might be the same exercises for 3 weeks straight, but I switch the order. Example, this week I did bench first, so next week I will do it third. Hammer curls first this week, do them second next week etc.. constantly switching it up will always give you better results. That is what P90X is built around, muscle confusion. This concept is why it is so attractive to me.
