I have been doing the same workout routines for 8 weeks and have seen progress (I change up intensity, # of reps, exercise order, etc.). I have had people tell me that I need to "shock the system" more than once and one guy even tell me I need to change my workout completely every week or every other week. Is this "body shock" broscience or is it something that could really help me out?

Thanks. I thought this might be the case. How long should I continue on the same workout? I have plateau'd on some lifts but I am not certain that it isn't a mental thing.

Well. For a natural athlete what is important is consistency, progressive overload and higher frequency of training. You should train large groups of muscles a minimum of 2 times a week. Doing "leg day" and "chest day" is nonsense. Specially if you are natty.

If you're doing a brosplit you may just need to change up the # of sets and reps for a little while. Plateauing is very real but you don't need to change your routine before then.
If you're doing SS/SL you'll have to change from linear progression to a more advanced routine. At a certain weight doing 5x5 three times a week will fatigue your body too much to be able to just keep adding weight every time and youll plateau at which point you'll need to go to a routine that allows for more recovery.

It's a placebo, yes, but never underestimate the power of a good placebo.

I do the same main lifts like bench and squat. However I change up my accessory work a lot just to hit different muscles and change it up.
