delts question

Ok, on a push day, i first do my chest first... should i do my shoulders (2 overhead movements) or triceps (2 exercises) first, what is generally more important. And instead of doing 2 overhead movements for shoulders, should i do 1 overhead and one lateral? i do 3 sets of each exercise for shoulders .

you could do your shoulders fist if you want. you could alternate between the two (chest and shoulders) each week or every 2 weeks as far as what you start with. i would leave triceps to the end of the workout though.

I'd agree. As the old logic goes, stick with the compound movements first. Shoulders recruit the triceps into the movements, probably the same amount as the chest does.

Good answers.
If your triceps are fatigued, your chest and shoulder workouts could suffer. Definitely do them last.

Question..should i do 2 overhead movements, or one overhead movement and one lateral movement?

I'd do 1 overhead and 1 lateral.

Yeah, I often suggest alternating which type of pressing movements you do first, or alternate between them throughout the workout.
