She said I should drop it to about 6 reps of 6 and just start with higher amounts of weight.

I also agree with phate89, it seems that your routine seems to involve alot of isolation.
Did she say why? It doesn't sound very justified to me.

eps3742 - look into some different training techniques such as matrix, pyramid, reverse pyramid, 1 set theory, negative only training, forced eccentrics, assisted reps, supersets and variations of supersets (there's probably more variations than you think), 1 and a half reps etc. You get the idea. Also, make sure you concentrate on lifting the weights slowly and remember that slow eccentrics are key to hypertrophy.
