You might try a different way all together- instead of trying to work your whole body in one sitting try isolating muscle groups that work similar muscles with the same excersize or focusing on a paricular group. Every week you get a full body workout that really hits you. I'm usually sore for 1-3 days afterwards.
Ex- Monday is Chest and triceps
Wednesday is legs and biceps
Friday is shoulders, traps, lats and back
Tuesday and wednesday and sometimes Saturday are cardio with abs
You can break them up into more or less days but 3 seems to be about the minimum in order to avoid gym appearances at less than an hour consistently. My routine takes from 45-60 minutes. My cardio is usually the same as well.
You really do need to completely revamp your excersizes every 4-6 weeks in order to keep achieving gains. Your muscles sort of get "trained" to using the same movements. It's always a good idea to work your stabilizer muscles in different ways. I would get rid of your old routine all together for at least the next month. That doesn't mean you can't go back to it the next cycle but definitely keep your excersizes switched up every so often.
it does man. trust me, ive had to burn them off recently for the reason i had stated earlier. perhaps it just works better for some than others. give it a try, for a week without interruptions, and lets see the results.
hmm i should show my luvhandle stage now then haha, i gotta reverse that shit, think im like at stage 3 or so =/

Do dumbbell side bends Dumbbell side bends are another great exercise to target the muscles under your love handles. Standing up, hold one dumbbell at your side and slowly bend your torso sideways, letting the dumbbell descend toward the floor. Slowly straighten up to the starting position using the strength of your abdominal muscles. Do 15 reps on each side.
i told you, it works. feels funny to do it, i admit
i hope no one is watching me through a window
i felt the same way...
i already did my lifting today... so now i'm gonna do stuff for my abs - and also try your thing with weights this time (like that link said)

i've done it with both weights and without weights...
and to be honest..
the weights are just there to try to make you look cooler i remember my cousin use to put a weight in one hand, and raise up his hand to his face like a soldier salute with the other. it was hilarious
was that the way u did it? if so, i dont really like it. reason why is chest workouts are more effective if u go on from upper chest, middle, and then lower. then u add in a breakdown set when done to pump out the whole chest and break it down to a good level.
so if u want to stick with those excercies here is what i reccommend doing
1. Incline DB Press-More of a power movement
2. Flat Bench-4 sets- 2 wide, 2 narrow. THis works the outer and inner middle chest
3. DB Flys-3 set
4. Dips-3 sets
5. Pushups- 2 sets to failure. if u worked out ur chest properly, u should be only able to get 15-25 off VS 40
smoke -
your thing seems much more effective with weights...
anyway... right now i'm loving the tricep workouts... the difference is great...tonight i did them laying down instead (seemed much more effective) and also did the sidewards ones (with one leg and arm on bench) those feel like you are being stabbed in the top of your arms but definately seem to be effective and work the top of the tricep as opposed to the bottom like the more common ones...
i also did the "jack knifes" for abs... yeah, they hurt. lol
