Yeah it is a shame but Konami were being jerks according to all reports.
Oh I love changeups. What I like to do is I sit down and write down the exercises I would normally do, so my list might look something like this:
*Lat Pulldowns
*Cable Rows
*Bodyweight dips
*Military Press
*Bicep barbell curls
*Tricep press down
And I write an alternative to each one, so the new list might look like this:
*Underhand lat pulldowns
*Bent over dumbbell rows
*Dips (don't really have an alternative exercise for these)
*Front lateral raise
*Cable curls or dumbbell curls
*Close grip bench press
And I stick to my main list mostly and then once in a while I just do the 'alternative' list. Keeps things spicy. Some people hate that though. They just do the same exercises again and again and again, which is fine if it works with them.
