1. You folks rotate your exercises? Bench 1st one day and then later or last the next occasion?
Just using Bench press as an example here. I occasionally have to use the bench press much later in a workout because all the areas are in use. I notice there is a significant difference in weight I can move if begin with bench press rather than it is later in the workout and I have done a few other upper body movements in the meantine. Same with seated shoulder press, decline press, etc.
2. Do you alternate muscle groups in an routine?
For example I will do a bench, then a tricep(opposite movement direction), then a shoulder movement, then back to a chest set and repeat the previous. Or do you do all chest, then tricep, then shoulders, etc? I fatigue less by allowing a few routines before stressing them again. Tend to use 80% 1RM.
Pardon it the above is basic. There are too many routines. I went old school with mine as I have it fairly well memorized regarding muscle groups worked.
