FT Questions....

Would there be any issue with doing chest first on my upper body loading days? Heavy back exercises (deads, rack dead, rows, etc) take a lot out of me, more than any chest movements do. I was thinking about seeing how much of a difference it makes to go ahead and hit that first in the workout in a couple days. After I did a couple sets of deadlifts and a hard set of lat pulldowns in between last week I was pretty damn tired and chest strength was definitely compromised. I don't know if the reverse would be true but I may as well try and find out. The other part of me wants to keep it this way and get as strong as I can with chest second in the order and when I switch over to doing it first at some point it will really help out strength wise. Maybe I'll keep it as is for this first blast..hmm gotta think now lol

As Altamir noted, no problem with either of those approaches. Very much makes sense to prioritize exercises for weak muscle groups in this way.
