What order do you do the exercises in?

[slackajack]

For example, on chest/Bi's day I go:

Bench (chest)
DB Curls (bi's)
DB Bench (chest)
Reverse Curls (bi's)
Machine Flyes (chest)
Chin ups (bi's)

And I separate the muscle groups by an exercise so that I can lift more, but I see a lot of people in my gym go all chest and then all bi's:

Bench
DB Bench
Flyes
BD Curls
Reverse Curls
Chins

Which way is the most effective?

[Strongdog]

whatever you do make sure you do compound lifts first before isolation

[natec310]

in my opinion it all depends on the individual. me personally I always start with the largest muscle im working that day.If I were using your workout I'd start off with chest, but not necessarily do the ENTIRE chest before any biceps. I'll do flat bench, then prolly incline dumbbells, then maybe do two bicep workouts, then finish with another chest workout. It helps let those muscles recover before you work them agian.

Yeah, I start with the largest muscle too. Basically I break up the chest workouts with bi workouts so that I can give that muscle group a bit of a break and lift more when I come back to it, but I was wondering if it would be better for hypertrophy to do it all at once.

IMO no. if you did them all in a row, your last set of your last exercise you would be extremely tired and sore. you would gain more by splitting it up with other muscle group exercises

dont like ur routine at all... why u making ur own routines if ur not even a personal trainer.. are u really 600 pounds?? im conffused right now wats ur goal...
why is there no legs why is there no compounds??? wtf is going on here??

well u got bench and chins thats it... but i guess yeah do compounds first then iso

[Chris~]

i always start with the larger muscle and smaller after

[Bobs of FL]

I start with what ever muscles are closer to my core and work my way 'out'.

For example if I do my back and then my bi's, I feel like I get a better workout because my arms are warmed up from doing back, but not tired. If I do it the other way, I feel as if my back doesn't get as great of a workout

[RoPaWrastla]

Compounds before isolation. No sense in wearing yourself out with bicep curls. Speaking of biceps, why the heck do you do chest and bi's? Makes no sense. Should be chest and tri's, but wutevs.

[Roger999]

I do larger muscles with compound excercises first, then isolations, then go to smaller muscles, compounds is always first and isolations next.

Chest/bi's indirectly works your triceps.
Back/tri's indirectly works your biceps.

Works for some people

I have a split routine. A four day split:

Chest/Bi's
Legs
Back/Tri's
Shoulders/Traps

I don't want advice on my routine, just the order it's in.

i always start with the larger muscle and smaller after

Yeah, me too, that's not what I was asking.

I'm want to know, for hypertrophy purposes, if I should run the muscles groups exercises together or separate them. I see so many big guys at my gym running them together that I'm wondering if it's a better idea, even if I won't be able to lift as much for the last few sets.

[user456419778777721321]

Workout A:
Squat
Bench Press
Deadlift
Dips

Workout B:
Squat
Standing Military Press
Barbell Row
Chin-ups

[slackajack]

For all the people talking compound, I do chins at the end because they're too easy otherwise, and I don't have a weight belt. I'm an intermediate lifter, not a beginner.

[slackajack]

Squat
Bench Press
Deadlift

Workout B:
Squat

I don't want a two day workout and that just sounds like a **** version of rippetoes. I have already done rippetoes when I first started out for 3 months. I've been lifting for 2 years now and I've moved onto a split.

Thats basically what Ive been doing for the last few weeks...
my thoughts were by alternating exercises for two muscle groups that you will be able to lift higher thus increasing muscle growth stimulus....I believe its the same/similar principles Charles Staley follows with his EDT

That's what I thought, cheers mate reps on recharge.

Ugh..thank you CJ..

I negged him for being a moron ..

Fcuk off mate. That's not Rippetoes: he didn't mention

How many reps
How many times a week to do it
Chins and dips aren't part of the real rippetoes program
AND he forgot the most important part of ripptoes: progressive overload.

All he mentioned was a few exercises in the same order as Rippetoes.

If you dumb-fcuk teens think that the fundamental principle behind Rippetoes is compound movements then don't talk to me anymore.

[farzamk]

i'd go all chest before bis. Because bis arent compound, do all compounds first, then go to iso chest (ie. flys) then to bis.

Why is that?

[Fighterpilota10]

Flat Bench
Dumbell Flys
Incline Bench
Cable Crossover
Weighted Dips

3x10 all lifts

[YasSouid]

Only thing that matters is bicep curls last.

1) The fundamentals of Rippetoes are progressively adding weight (preferably per workout), and compound movements.

2) I am friends with CJ, and he is in fact on Rippetoes, just as I am.

I am doing Rippetoes you dumb ****. You are the one who is retarded, I'm pretty sure if anyone knew what routine I was doing it would be ME.

NEGGED

[user456419778777721321]

I gave the OP my first neg in a long time, it felt great!

Moved him down to 122 as well.

[slackajack]

You're joking, right? I did Rippetoes when I was a beginner. It's not the perfect routine when you've been lifting for 2 years. The teen section is full of dickheads who just say "clean bulk," "rippetoes," "compound, not iso," without even reading the posts or even thinking about what they're saying.

And you mentioned a series of exercises, you did not mention Rippetoes. Then you negged me for arguing with you. Grow a dick, mate.

I never said you should do Rippetoes. I stated the order in which I do routines. Learn to read in YOUR OWN thread.

[user456419778777721321]

"What order do you do the exercises in?"

I stated the order, and you assumed what routine I did, which was wrong. It's not a "****" version of Rippetoes, it IS Rippetoes. I don't care if you know what routine I'm doing or not, I stated the order in which I do exercises in.
