power movements

[zinghigh89]

power movements beginning of workout or end of workout?

the program i'm starting is 3 on 1 off, first day legs and shoulders, would clean and presses/push presses etc. be better done at the beginning or end of the workout? my legs will probably be pretty taxed at the end so i'm thinking the beginning if i wanna move some good weight around.

Max effort movements should always be done first, especially when you do compound movements or any movements where there is a lot of muscle recruitment.

is you roal to build power or size?

either way i'd reccomend doing them first but maybe occasionally do them in the middle or at the end just for variety man.

From what I've learned in school and read form articles, performing power movements first will make you perform better on your lifts for strength.
