Fuck, ok. Vary your exercises.
- Instead of just doing 50 identical sit-ups, throw in some regular crunches and side-to-side ones (i.e. bringing elbow up to opposite knee) and shit like that. Lay on something with your hands under your ass and your legs out in the air, and raise them from below vertical to straight up (90 degree angle, hopefully). Etc...
- Instead of just bench, throw in some flies and tricep kickbacks and dips (if you can do them... they are a bitch) and stuff like that.
- Vary your curls (sitting, standing, palms facing inward vs front, etc...) and try bent over rows and shoulder shrugs and shit.
Don't be afraid to vary your combinations and intensities from day to day, although stick with those muscle group combinations (chest & tricep one day, then back & bicep, etc).
You may want to give shoulders their own day since most people's are underdeveloped (mine are). Military press, arm raises to front or side or straight up, etc... Lots of possibilities.
And lastly, focus on the QUALITY of each repetition more than simply fulfilling a set quota. Like if you're doing, say, crunches, do them well and really scrunch your abs up and hold for a second, even if it means going more slowly (and it should). Too many people half-ass their shit and miss a lot of the point of each exercise.
I'm not trying to sound like an expert or anything. Hope it helps.
