How does this routine look?

Im assuming you would have to make sure you were taking your sets to failure.

Even with that, I consider that there is always that"correct weight" for each exercise based on the routine ( sets, reps, superset combos, rest time, etc). If I am not at that weight, my progress hits a plateau or at least it takes me more time to increase the resistance. Probably just a mental block, but if I do not get that extra rep or increase the weight from one wokout to the other, I get frustrated. If a machine or aparatus is busy, I wil substitute every now and then, but it is always plan B and not the first option.

I always focu on increasing resistance each workout, whether it is reps or weight. How do you accomplish this by constantly changing the routine. I know people that can do this, but I have not been able to master this. Between 4-6 weeks and I reach a plateu and need to change the routine. How do you maximize your gains by changing the exercises every time?

^^^This, plus reducing time between sets.

I don't train to improve my efficiency on a certain exercise, thats powerlifting stuff. Powerlifters train to lift as much weight as possible on 3 exercises, most dont really have big muscles. To be able to lift more weight in a certain exercise comes much more from technique and practice than muscle size.

If you continue with this plan that on every workout you need to increase weight or number of reps in a few years you are curling 300lbs?!? Not really feasible, huh?

I could totally destroy all your plans for a workout if I was training you for the 1st exercise, applying some HIT techniques to failure and beyond, you could be totally wrecked with one set.
At the end of the day what matter is muscle destruction (so it can rebuild stronger) at least for me.

I do see a lot of guy in the gym doing countless sets, and counting reps religiously, all looks a waste of time for me (and of equipment usage when ppl are waiting grrrr)

Let me give you my theory so you can shoot holes in it... I am at the point that I am trying to obtain any advantage that I can. Time is running for me and I want to try and maximize my effort.
I guess I was too general. Changing resistance can be weight, time under tension, ret period, order of exercises , etc.
My belief is that the nervious system tries to adapt. Muscle growth peaks after adaptation. To get the muscle to maximize growth, there needs to be consistancy. If I consistantly change the angles of exercise, One does not obtain the benefit of of the muscle trying to adapt. Muscle growth peaks after the adaptation, not during.
I was not able to find any sport studies that either confirmed or rejected this idea. I'll bet Mr BB does!
From a bro science aspect, I have seen people that change it constantly and have been able to make great results, and ones that can't. On the other side, the same thing.
I have tried changing constantly and was not able to see the same increases.

Dont think we are so far off from each other. We got to do whatever works for us, we are all different.

Keep hitting it hard
