Squat, bench, DL

Karen said...

dude. I've been doing squat, bench, squat, bench, squat, bench.

I remembered that I was supposed to do DL wither first or last - I just couldn't remember which it was. Perhaps if I knew the reason...

Sam Crish said...

As in alternating exercises?
I keel?

Karen said...

It saves time, no? I do bench while my legs are resting from rep 1 of squats.

You keel?

Chris said...

Squat first, cause it's the hardest technique-wise and the most neurologically taxing of the 3. Benching next gives the lower body some time to recover before DLs.

Chris said...

Oh, and don't super-set with this routine. Finish all the sets of one exercise before moving on to the next.

Karen said...

Why no super sets?

Chris said...

You need adequate recovery btwn sets, and you need to focus on the technique of the lift. It's not a metcon.
