Exercise order.

[Ayemelek]

My full body workout currently is:

Squats (alternate with deads every other week)
Bench Press
Chin Ups
Preacher Curls

in that order. 3 sets of each.

I am finding myself tired on the bench though and I've been a bit tired so doing 1-2 reps less than normal. My primary goal is to get my bench press up. Should I put it first, and do squats after presses and chins? I don't think squats use much upper body. But I know bench pressing for a fact requires good leg drive.

Any help? I don't want a split for my own reasons, so don't bother arguing about changing it, lol.

I prioritize my lifts. If you want a bigger bench then do it first. I wouldnt see how doing bench first would affect your squats much so go for it.

I dont know...things like deadlifts and powercleans I like doing them last because I know I'll be drained after them and not have enough energy for anything else. But things like bench and squat I always do them first...

I would do easier exercises first and then more difficult exercises later. I do this because I'm spent after hard exercises and wouldn't be getting the most out of my workout.

So, for your exercise plan I would do...

Preacher Curls
Chins
Bench
Squats/deads

I agree but it depends. I would squat first no matter what...and then bench. To me squat demands the most energy to do. So if you are spent before you get there you wont be able to get it. But for me on something like deads I do last because its not that it takes the most energy to do, but it leaves me the most spent afterwards and it takes the longest to finish. So I would do that last...
