Picking a locker with your “lucky number”
Some guys tend to go into a locker room and, if the locker isn’t assigned, throw their gym bag and equipment into “their” lucky locker. Certain lifters think by picking lucky locker number 7 before they actually get to hitting the weight that their training will end up being blessed with gains. Not true, but if it’s a habit then some guys will find that their mind muscle connection could be disrupted by breaking their routine.
