Once I have been in the gym a fortnight that is what it will be changing to. IBeing an old sod, I need the body to get warmed up a bit 1st..
I will also be trying to do the weight work either in the morning, as opposed to the end of the day after work etc

whatever suits you best- i would recommend that you put in the olympic lifts to your session now as the warmup but just use the bar for technique.
Then once you feel ready your body will already be used to the correct movements

Hi everyone. Lots of throwers of higher level has given their views, and how they trained. My mind was thinking, how about 'shocking' you body. After doing the same all exercises weeks over weeks and over again, how about trying something new, like different variations of that exercise. Like, pullover where there are 10 or more variations. I'm sure it will make training more interesting. Cheers.

Absolutely- i personally do different exercise variations every week and another way is to change the load per exercise eg number of sets, repetitions and weight.

to keep a tab on lifts and progression i personally wouldn't deviate too much, when lifting changing from cleans to snatch, flat bench to inclines, squats to front squats........i know lots of people will have sessions A and sessions B and incorporate such ideas.
auxiliary exercises though i think there's much more freedom in choices and variation, just ensuring that the particular muscles worked are stressed enough should be enough, just having a "bank" of exercises in your mind and going to the gym and deciding even on that day what you are going to do is fine in my mind, it can be of benefiting factor too as with different exercises you will be working the muscles in slightly different ways and becoming more rounded as a result.............ab's and core work springs to mind, maybe for bicep curls you could have a list of say....standing barbell curls, seated preacher curls, seated dumbbell curls, hammer curls and concentration curls.
have main "core" lifts with slight variation and then have a fuller variation of auxiliary lifts, this would be my choice of ways.
