    One thing I teach my clients is that you always do the largest muscle first in any workout due to the fact that energy is highest at the beginning of a workout. So do BACK first and then shoulders and then arms. That way you can use more resistance doing back exercises before you're fatigued. Try it!

    Thanks. That's not the order I do everything, just the way my app has them listed. I try to do the heavier, larger muscle groups first, but sometimes depends on how busy the gym is.

    I was just going to pop in and give @ninerbuff props for this thread, and his dedication to keep his format going even through the periods when it's slow or even just him. And as someone who did post on this thread for a while, I can only explain why I don't any more, and I'm sure everyone has differing reasons.

    In my case, I had more time on my hands for a period and was posting. That changed, as did some of my workout habits. I found I was getting a bit obsessive about certain goals with workout time, logging, etc., to the point that it became a little too restrictive too me. So I changed things up, log less, freak out about goals less, don't record every workout, etc. And though I've slipped some and let my weight creep a little bit, it's still under control. But see, that's just ME. What works best for you or the next person might differ, but as long as they get where they are going it's all good.


    I'm actually surprised it's not a busier thread. The long term dedication, great advice, support and purpose of the thread are a great inspiration to many I'm sure. I know I was popping in just to remind @ninerbuff that I've appreciated it, and to show some respect for his dedication.

    Hi Robert, thanks for your feedback. I’m hoping that the extra activity will help draw others to this thread, it’s too good to not be supported.

    Joe, will be back on track Tuesday. Had to make an unscheduled trip and getting back tomorrow. Looks like you’ve been having some fun this past week! Congrats to your DD👍🏼

    Tuesday done!

    Nothing useful accomplished. Dragging after work and had some outside chores to do at home before possible freeze this week. Didn't have enough energy left to go back out to the gym.

    Guess I will call it a rest day:)
