Did you know the order in which you workout muscle groups can change your results? When performing your exercise routine you should workout the larger muscle groups first. For instance, if you are working out chest and triceps you would work on the chest first before working the smaller tricep muscles.
You see…. the smaller muscle groups assist the larger muscle groups in their movement patterns. Therefore you should exhaust the primary muscle (larger muscle) in this case the chest and then exhaust the assisting muscle (smaller muscle) second to assure the chest get maximum work. If you were to work the smaller muscle first it would not be able to assist in many chest movements and the chest wouldn’t get maximum work and the results would be poor.
The bottom line is: There are many ways of doing things. In this case try working bigger muscle groups 1st and smaller muscle groups 2nd. Another good idea is to work muscles together that perform similar movement. An example would be chest and triceps which both perform pushing motions or back and biceps which both perform pulling motions.
