Thread: When Training 2 Or More Muscles In One Session...

When you all train doing a split with say:

Chest/Bi
Legs/Shoulders
Back/Tri

Do you complete all of one muscle group first (chest) then do the second (bis).
Or do you rotate between say 1 exercise of chest, 1 exercise bi, 2 exercise, 1 exercise bi?

When I do splits, I find it best to rotate. I find if I do all of one muscle group first, I really shaft the second muscle group by not hitting it until I already am 10 or more sets in and not obviously at full strength but with fatigue.

In fact, I find doing a split that goes 1 exercise chest/1 exercise bicep/2 exercise chest/1 exercise bicep, it serves as a nice "break".
If I start with 2 chest exercises in a row, say flat bench then incline, I am still tired from flat bench. Whereas if I do an exercise of curls in between, I actually have recovered and can do better on incline.


I was wondering if you do a two or more muscle split, what you do and what is the best method, or if there really is no right or wrong answer.

I do both but generally do one muscle group then the other. Seems to work for me, but you need to do what works best for your body.
