Sequence of bodybuilding exercises

If anyone thought of it, that in bodybuilding the order in which the exercises are performed does not matter, this is seriously wrong. Well, it has a very large one. There are, of course, an infinite number of combinations of types and types of exercise plans, according to which the training cycles planned by us can run. However, certain fixed rules are generally accepted, on which it should generally be based, choosing the order of exercises.

At the beginning of training, after warming up and stretching, we should focus primarily on doing exercises, which will affect the development and expansion of larger muscle groups. It turns out, that if we focus on training smaller muscle groups first, Later, during exercises performed on large muscle groups, this will force us to lighten the load. An exception to this may be the rule known in bodybuilding about the method of pre-fatigue the muscles. Then we start the training with the so-called isolated exercises, e.g. machine exercises or stretches. We do it for this purpose, to use them to tire out our large muscle groups at the beginning of the workout, which later even more so, thanks to this, feel tired while performing compound exercises, such as squats or bench presses, later in the training. Traditionally, however, training tends to start with compound exercises, then isolated. At the next stage of training, we proceed to exercise opposing muscle groups, otherwise known as antagonists. We can, for example, alternately do biceps exercises, carried out with a barbell, consisting of bending the arms with an exercise for the triceps, associated with straightening the arms on the lift. In even further training, we can focus on performing different exercises affecting the same muscle group. This is a good way to sculpt muscle mass. We should also realize, that the order in which the exercises are performed is important throughout the entire exercise, occurring after each other, workouts, often day after day. Therefore, it is precisely influencing each other, broken down into days, part of the training cycle, it is advised not to train certain muscle groups directly after each other. It is not recommended to do exercises for the back muscles the day before training the thigh muscles. The muscles of the back need time, to regenerate. The same applies to the thigh and calf muscles as well as the shoulder and chest muscles.

These are just some of the valuable pieces of advice regarding the order in which bodybuilding exercises are performed. However, following them will certainly make it easier, at least at first, pleasant and effective for us difficult training for muscle mass.
