September Fit Tip
When working out it is best to train larger muscles first and smaller muscles last. Training large muscle groups (thighs, chest, and back) will take a majority of your energy; therefore you need to train your large muscle groups when you are at your strongest.
Smaller muscles (biceps, triceps, and forearms) should be trained after larger muscles because they don’t require as much energy to train. If you train smaller muscles first then you will not have enough strength left to train your larger muscles.
