If you use a spotter try doing positive, static, and negative reps!.
After warming up use a weight where you can do 10-15 reps before tiring out!. After your muscles are exhausted have your spotter raise the weight and hold the weight at about halfway through the motion until your muscles again tire and you can no longer hold the weight still without assistance!. Have your spotter then lift the weight and use your muscles to lower the weight!. After several reps your muscles can no longer even lower the weight steadily and your muscle has been fully exhausted!. You can do 2 or 3 sets of these with proper rest between to get a really good workout!. I would only try this with upper body exercises to avoid injury!.
Also try looking at some books for additional exercises that you may not have tried to switch up your routines!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Have you tried actually doing exercises!? For example if you usually do bench press for your chest have you tried substituting this for dumbbell chest presses or even the machine press in some of your workouts!.
Also have you tried pyramid sets and reverse pyramid sets!? I often use these myself when I want to mix up my routine and find them really effective!. For pyramids you basically start on a relatively light weight and do 12 reps!. You then increase the weight and do 10 reps, then increase the weight further and do 8 reps and so on!. Once you get to the top (usually 4 or 6 reps with me) you then start to work backwards through the pyramid until you get back down to 12 reps!. Reverse pyramids are pretty similar but instead of starting with light weights and high reps you start with heavy weights and low reps and then work towards light weights and high reps!. To further explain I've included a standard set of pyramid sets I sometimes use with the dumbbell chest press:
1) 12 reps with 40lb dumbbells
2) 10 reps with 45lb dumbbells!.
3) 8 reps with 50lb dumbbells!.
4) 6 reps with 55lb dumbbells!.
5) 4 reps with 60lb dumbbells (and then work back through the pyramid as discussed below)!.
6) 6 reps with 55lb dumbbells!.
7) 8 reps with 50lb dumbbells!.
8) 10 reps with 45lb dumbbells!.
9) 12 reps with 40lb dumbbells!.
Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i would actually stick to what you are doing now, going heavier but less sets!. the thing you have to do is the day you workout pick a part of your body, lets say chest, and "damage" it!. do eveything about your chest and nothing else, like bench, butterflies, etc!. when doing it like that you focus on one part of your body at a time!. if you do your whole all at once, you are not giving your muscles time to rest, since you're doing everything at once!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
