fortitude flexibility

[Scott Stevenson]

wow haha ive said it to you before but this is the first time ive ever logged and will always from now on.

It can be a very useful tool.

aaron is very strong life time natural around 25 years old and does everything i do weight and rep wise recovers easily (or is just a hard bastard lol) then plays rugby twice a week.

Sounds like a true freak, man. (Of course, at 25 a lot of us were indestructible. )

really? is that why i see JP doing lat pulldowns before deadlift yesterday? would you recommend this for all compound movements and body parts?

That's one reason to do so, but that needn't be done all the time. Exercise order is a program variable that can be used in various ways:

• Changing order can be a way to keep exercises you want to retain, but restart progression after a strength plateau.

• Isolation before compound exercises is a pre-fatigue strategy, as well as way to do what I mention above.

• Compounds first permit heavier loads slightly, which might be favorable for someone who finds that a given compound is a great exercise for the targeted muscle group and the heavier, the better generally.
