What muscles should I work out first at the gym?

Question

I heard you are supposed to start with larger muscles.I'm not sure which muscles are larger than the others.Please enlighten me on the proccess for upper body & lower.

Answer 1

Legs, butt and core (abs and lower back) are the huge muscle groups. I work those last.

For upper body, the chest is the large muscle group.

Answer 2

The larger o smaller muscles thing is a misleading myth for amateurs at the gym. Wheter is larger o smaller depends only in the amount of muscles involved in a specific exersice.

Usually, workout your legs with say, squats, involve plenty of mucles, but it would be totally diferent if you workout your legs in a machine. (machines isolated muscles).

So when you hear about "first the larger muscles", what it really means is, do the excersices that involve larger portions of muscles, so, not the machines.

Answer 3

I usually work 2 muscles or body parts per session, If i'm doing chest my next body part will be back, The tricepts get worked while doing chest so doing tris after chest will just overtrain them, Also you want to do compound movements first before isolation ones,For example you would do squats before leg extensions, Squats hit your quads, ham string, and gloutes, where as leg extensions only hit you quads.

Answer 4

The largest muscles in the body are in your thighs, so start with exercises for quads and hams, like lunges. Your back also has large muscles.

Answer 5

okay
start by warming up by running
then alternate working leg muscles to arm muslces
when your done with that go to abs
then run for a while
have fun
