Hello, for about 12 years now I've been doing my same weight routines, I change the amount of reps about every 6 weeks and sometimes I will go heavier. My routine goes something like this...bicep curls with bar,concentration curl with dumbell, and standing curl with dumbell, follow by overhead tricep with dumbell, tricep extensions and dips, followed by military press with bar, front and side latteral and shrugs all sets are anywhere between 12-20 reps. On the same day I work upper body I also work my legs calves as followed squats with bar, inner thighs, lunges, hamstrings, and calves with sets of 15-25. I like to do something new. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Do you have any Cathe videos? All her workouts shake it up a lil' bit different from one to the other which is good for your muscles...keeps them guessing. After awhile, they will adapt to what you do over & over. Is it possible to order one of the DVD's?

Hi Lourdes! Sounds like you need to shake things up a bit. Have you ever done split routines? I notice that you only do total body workouts. If you have the time for split routines Cathe has Push/Pull, Supersets, Slow & Heavy, Gym Style just to name a few. All of these dvds have premixes featured on them. This means that you can develop your own workout by just a click of the button. Take a look at the clips on these & see which ones you like.

Hi Lourdes--you could shake up your routine a little by trying heavier weights & lower reps. Also, something that I do often when I'm getting bored, is I'll just sub one exercise for another for some variation. For example, instead of doing tricep dips you could try cable pushdowns. Instead of doing squats you could do leg presses.
I'm sure Cathe can give you much more information, but one thing that's helped me is having a couple of weightlifting encyclopedias handy so if I'm looking for a sub exercise I have a good source of variations.
