Workout Video Strength Exercises Order

It is ideal to perform the strength exercises in the following order since we want to focus on compound exercises first. We want to use multiple muscle groups before we transition into exercises where we isolate certain muscles.

If you were to do it the opposite way then the muscles are already fatigued before you get to the more demanding compound exercises.

That’s just my recommendation – it’s not illegal to change up the order if you prefer it.

  1. Back Squat (Smith machine)
  2. Forward/Reverse Lunging
  3. Lateral Lunging
  4. RDL
  5. Knee Extensions
  6. Knee Curls
  7. SL RDL
  8. SL Squat – use stability pad to increase stability requirements
  9. DB Calve Raises
