Lets say im doing Chest and shoulders today. Should i do all my chest exercises and then all my shoulder exercises or should i do a chest exercise, then a shoulder exercise, then a chest exercise...etc. Ive been doing the latter plan so far; however, ive heard that its better to work the bigger muscle first, and then the smaller. So then i guess id have to do all my chest exercises before my shoulkder exercises. BUt then again ive been thinking that i should give my chest a rest inbetween exercisses. Does it really matter what i do?
 
well, doing chest exercises will stress ur front deltoid, so....
it depends

Im at school, not supposed to be online but oh well
 
I would work chest, then shoulders. Get all of your chest excerises done, maybe end the chest workout with some incline so you hit them front delts.. Then go right into shoulders. I honestly like Chest/Tris. But I'll try chest in shoulders soon for the hell of it.
 
Usually you want to do the major muscle group 1st then the smaller one, unless your trying to bring up a week bodypart. Major muscle groups (back, chest, & quads) require more energy than smaller muscle groups do. So unless your chest is good and your shoulder are not I would say do chest 1st. Myself I usually work major muscle groups alone. By the time my chest is worked i don't have the strength to train anything else with enough power to do any good:o

i actually do chest shoulders and tris on the same day. so i guess i shouild do all chest, then all shoulders, then all tris? does this make a big difference?
 
I've tried both methods, and either way seems to work for me. I just recently reverted back to doing all of one muscle before going to the next. I think I prefer that method. In fact, yesterday was my first day on a new routine in which I did chest and shoulders. I did chest first, then shoulders. My muscles felt like they were getting hit harder, but as I said before, the alternating method worked well for me too.
 
It really depends on what part your trying to bring up. I personally hate doing chest and shoulders on the same day because no matter which one I pick first, the second one is always much weaker.

My split is as such:

Monday: Chest/Triceps/Abs
Tue: Back/Biceps/Forearms
Wed: Shoulders/Legs
Thur: (Power) Chest/BackAbs
Fri: (Power) Shoulders/Arms/Calves

Weekends Off. Sometimes I throw in an extra rest day here and there depending on how I feel.

I only workout Legs once a week. Works for me :)
 
In my opinion you should always work the larger muscle groups first in your workouts and early in the week working down to the smaller ones as the week progresses.Bigger musdclegroups require heavier weight,and are much more demanding as a result.
