Order of Exercises

bogey1975 Posts: 4 Joined: 2001/03/17	2001/03/20, 09:04 PM Should exercises be performed in the same order that they are listed in FT's daily routine? For example, does it make a diiference if you work your triceps before biceps, or shoulders before back?

In the work out plan do we complete all the sets of one exercise first or do we do one set of an exercise and then move on to the next exercise? For example, do I do all my sets of benchpresses togeter before moving on and then doing my lege raises, or do I do one set of the Benchpress and move straight onto the leg raises and so on and then come back, kind of like completing a circuit? Thanks!
