Wear supportive footwear.
This will help to prevent injury, and combat foot fatigue while spending a day walking through galleries with hard floors.
Pay attention to form.
Being weighed down without attentiveness to form can reduce gains, and too much attention to context risks losing sight of the object of your focus.
Do not deny yourself pleasure.
Rest days & tasty food ensure the longevity of your regimen, & while sometimes you must examine terrible art like impressionism, it’s important to reward yourself by looking at medieval reliquaries.
Appreciate the contributions of Eastern Europe.
Romanian deadlifts, Bulgarian split squats, and the rich legacy of socialist realism are all worth your time.
Pick shit up.
It can be a gallon of Tide; just pick it up. First hand examination of an object offers insights not provided by reproductions.
Timing is important.
There is a decreasing marginal benefit to overlong lifting sessions; and if you are scheduled to give a 20 minute conference paper, by God, you will practice that paper to come in at 19 minutes flat.
