With four years under your belt, you shouldn't have to pay a guy to tell you exercises you already know. Hook up with some friends and get them to push you.

I switch it up maybe every 2 months. I try to do the same weights until I can push a certain amount of sets x reps then I try to up it. I don't do any deloading, but that could be something I try. I do find that if I take a week off, I lose quite a bit of strength. Its like my body eats away at the muscle immediately if I stop working out for a week.
I do work out alone so its hard to push myself with out a spot. I know I shouldn't blame it on genetics but its demoralizing to see some friends work out half as much yet get more ripped.
