I’ve been following my own routine I made up loosely based off others I’ve found online supposedly used by guys like grimek and reeves.
I’m wondering how I should structure it. I’ve noticed leg workouts seem to be done first. I’ve been doing this and I like it.
As far as structure should a workout look like example A
Legs
Back exercise 1
Chest exercise 1
Back exercise 2
Chest exercise 2
Or example B
Legs
Chest 1
Chest 2
Back 1
Back 2
I’m currently doing more like example B and I like it so far. I have two workouts, one more chest back and quad focused and the other arms and Hams focused and alternating them. Heres what ive been doing. The first exercise in each group is sort of a warmup/pre exhaust so i can target each muscle that i want more while still hitting everything. Works out pretty good for me. That way when im doing workout B, im not hitting chest as hard so it can recover, or while doing working A my chest will give out before my triceps so they dont get hit as hard.
Also ive dislocated my knee 4 times (outside of the gym) so please dont harass me about squats. And i dont do any calve exersizes because i dont want them any bigger. Something with my genetics but theyre huge (16" and im 5’6").
Workout A (Quads, Pecs, Lats)
Leg Extensions - 3x16
Leg Press - 3x10

Workout B (Hams, Triceps, Biceps)
