I perform my big compound lifts at the beginning of my workout, always. Sucks when the rack is taken. I like to use the term “workout money”. Bank is full at the beginning of the workout. Spend it wisely.

Big compound exercises will take a lot of my “workout money” (my energy) but they will always give me the best return on investment.These big compounds are “the needs”, paying the body expenses. Staying strong, keeping size, being efficient with time.

After my big compounds it’s time for assistance work, time under tension, isolation, experimentation etc. Muscles are pre-fatigued by the big compounds that doing any other work thereafter is a bonus.

Now I can stretch my workout money on “my wants”. Chiseling the body, working on weak body parts, aesthetics, staying handsome lol etc.
