Gym Beliefs that you have
So we all go to the gym and everyone always preaches to keep changing your routines weather it be rep's, volume, or exercises.
I'm interested to hear some people's beliefs in the gym that they just don't really break...maybe theories is a better way to put it.
Mine:
Do free weight movements first, fatigue the stabilizer muscles and hit the hardest movements when your fresh, then finish off the muscle with machines.
Cardio after lifting. I'm not the type of person to go to the gym twice a day and spend one visit for strictly cardio so I always do my cardio at the end of working out rather than before I hit the weights.
What are some of your favorite methods to the madness?

Pyramid. Increase weights while decreasing reps.
But also like supersets for the time savings.Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Join Rx Muscle on Facebook!

Pre-Exhaust will aid muscle tension and warming up a muscle (especially weaker bodyparts)
Rack your DAMN WEIGHTS (pisses me off the worst)
Slow Eccentrics (4-5 Seconds) and 4-5 Second Paused Reps Suck, but do a ton for MMC
Squeezing Every back movement for 1-2 seconds (helped me a ton with my back to grow)
Cardio After, save my energy for the weights.2013 & 2014 RX Member of the Year

I have a few:
1. Never do the same workout for the same bodypart two weeks in a row.
2. I pick one bodypart per week to really hammer with heavy weight and super high intensity each week. Not that I don't train hard every day...but I like to pick one muscle group to really work extra hard each week. I usually make that a high carb day with one cheat meal.
3. After training, I always sit in this empty corner of the gym to cool down and have my post workout supps.

The Solution touched on it but I would say "Peak contraction" , doesn't matter what kind of work out or rep scheme I am doing.......There will be a peak contraction.
Stretch and squeeze during every set.Gone but not forgotten, I remember you too Dookie!

Beat the damn log book no matter what type of training I do.
And on the rare occasion that I do cardio, it's after the weights.CutlerAthletics.com
