Breakthrough thoughts!

So, I'm obviously addicted to training....I love it so much for so many reasons and really hope I can keep lifting for the rest of my life. Anyhow, back to my breakthrough. I am always thinking about ways to improve my methods of training. So I have been thinking about an idea of selecting a few exercises per body part and using those exercises until I plateau and then switching them out for others. Its a very simple idea but I think it could work extremely well on my hypertrophy days. Before even switching them out I will first change the order and if that doesn't work to improve my lifts, I will simply exchange it for another.

Here are my selection of exercises per body part  (note these are only for hypertrophy days/non power lifts)

Biceps- Preacher curls, Zottman curls, Reverse BB Curls, BB curls, Cable Curls, Seated DB Curls
Triceps- Reverse Cable Curls, Pushdowns (rope)/(bar), Kickbacks with a BB, CG Bench, Overhead DB/Rope Extension
Shoulders- Machine Press/DB Press/Arnold Press/Medium grip upright Row/Lateral raises/Machine Reverse
Chest- DB/BB Press Incline/Cable Press/Pec Deck/Dips/Machine Decline Machine/
Back- Chins (all variations)/Low Row/BB Rows/ CG Pulldowns/DB Rows
Legs-CG Front squats/Romanian Deadlifts/Leg Press/ Leg Ext/Leg Curls/Lunges
