Over time, you just learn what works and what doesn't. You'll be doing an exercise one day slightly different, and you'll just have an epiphany when it comes to mind muscle connection. Let's talk about different ways you do ordinary exercises, or just new ones you came up with.
One Armed Pushdown - Think reverse pinwheel curl (all time favorite for biceps and forearms by the way). I'm huge on one armed movements for arms, my left needs some work, but I started doing these with the starting position at the top, keeping your forearm parallel to your body, push down, slow negative. You won't be able to use much weight, don't worry about it. I really like the single arm rope attachment for this. Try not to look at yourself in the mirror when you're doing this, you'll look like you're painfully and violently beating yourself in the balls.
Hanging Swings - I took John Meadows advice and started doing rear delts at the beginning of back, and love it so far. I take great, almost masochistic pleasure in roasting my rear delts, and no better way to do that than finish bent over flies with as many partial reps as you can possibly muster. Don't worry, everyone looks like a retard when they do these, it's not just you. I often like to do these then hop right on the reverse pec deck and finish one at a time. I've noticed really nice improvement over the past few months doing this, and it's giving me some nice thickness from the side. Oh and if you're not subscribed to John on YouTube, shame on you.

I've got a ton, but figured I'd let you fuckers chime in before I bogart this bitch.
