| Yes, it's important to cycle your training.
If you're fairly new to training (less than 2 years), you'll probably find you can gain for about 8 weeks or so on the same routine.
For intermediates, you'll need to be changing up every 4 weeks, preferably with a dual factor protocol.
For advanced/elite lifters, you'll need to be changing up every session (a la Westside).
Of course, these are gross generalisations, but it's what I've experienced when training people.
In essence, the more advanced you are, the harder it is to get gains from doing the same movements for any significant periods of time.
More often than not though, if you find a routine that works for you, simply having 2-3 weeks deload will be enough to allow you to start gaining again when you go back on it.
