I'm a big believer in mixing it up and keeping your body guessing.
nash is right on with the drop sets. Thats a great way to really hit the muscles hard. I do at least 1 exercise with drop sets every day. What I usually do is a warm up set 50% max weight. Then another normal set at about 85% max weight. Then a drop set starting at absolute max weight and going until failure then dropping the weight by about 20%. I will go down all the way to about 40% max weight. That will DEFINITELY leave you feeling sore the next day.

That sounds cool, I'm going to try it. Yesterday was chest tri and delts, and only my triceps are sore. I'll try lowering the weight too cait.
