    Order of exercises...

    When working out say on a chest and shoulders day what order do you guys do your exercises in?

    I know that I should be doing my heaviest exercises first....but I have heard people do all their chest exercises at once and then do all their shoulder exercises. Is it best to do all of your exercises for one muscle first then move on or is it better to intersperse them throughout the workout?

    My goal is to gain muscle size, if that factors in...

    I do all of my chest exercises first, then go on to shoulders if that's what you're asking. And I always do my main power movement first (bench for chest, military press for shoulders)

    Definitely have your power or heaviest movement first because it will require the most energy. It really depends on your preference other than that. I have done both all muscle exercises at once then switch, or alternating. I tend to prefer alternating because the muscle can rest some and usually I can lift higher weights than if I did everything at once. Remember though on a lot of chest exercises they are going to work/fatigue your front delts.

    i think You should start with compound exercices and finish with isolation, at least thats what i do. you start with the muscle that is lacking so it catchs the others

    Lol its always the bigger muscles first/compounds, because the bigger muscles always need the smaller muscles to help, if you work the smaller muscles first you won't be as primed for the bigger muscle lifts.
