Muscle Building - It's OK to Try New Things

I receive a lot of questions about programming and I want you guys to remember a couple of things.

Always take a bigger picture view. Obviously, you want to utilize common sense and not do anything that's going to encourage injuries, but beyond that feel free to try things.

Feel free to make adjustments that might not make sense to other lifters. Don't be locked down or boxed in by fear of being sub optimal.

In the long run as long as you are consistent, nailing your nutrition, training hard, and pushing for progressive overload, it's okay to smash conventional rules and try new things.

The body is not that fragile. It's okay to play around and try new splits, and formats, and new exercise orders that might not make sense in the world of optimal.

It's okay to do your pec dec before bench press. It's okay to squat last on leg day. It's okay to do any of these things as long as you are recovering, not increasing the risk of injury, and most of all enjoying your workouts.
