A bit of change
I've been doing Doug's 4 day muscle building workout for about 3 months now and from what I've read it seems as though its good to swap out some exercises so that your muscles dont get used to performing a particular motion so would it be ok if i changed some the the exercises in Doug's workout? For example swapping out the preacher curl for the concentration curl.

Changing 1 or 2 exercises probably won't make too much difference, change the whole workout, change days, change muscle order, increase intensity, vary rep ranges etc

I agree with Damo. A complete change is good. Even consider having a break from your current goal and switch for a few weeks. Like if you are mass building, give a strength building workout a go for six weeks or cycle through workouts strength training, building workouts and cutting throughout a year or so. This keeps the body guessing. However if you want to stay on the same path tailor a workout to build up your weaknesses and keep the body in proportion

Thanks for your replies. I'll take them all into consideration. I had to change from preacher curls cause my gym doesnt have a precher curl bench so....I think I'll stick with muscle building for now as my muscles aren't that big yet
 and later maybe switch to toning and cutting or something.
