    Exercise order?

    I'm fairly new to lifting. Ive been lifting for two months and love it already. I have a diet i stick to religiously and owe alot to the users on here for progress i have already made (12 lbs). My question-

    Is there any specific order in which i should be lifting when at the gym. For example, on my chest and tri day i have noticed if i start off with dumbell bench i cannot lift as much on the second exercise (incline) as if it were my first. (If i start my workout on incline i can lift more then i can if i do it after Dumbell Bench) Should i mix up what i start my workout with every time i lift? and should i split my exercises up? do all my chest, and then all my tri's? Or mix them in, chest ex, tri ex, chest ex, tri ex etc.

    u could start in a different order, and this will help the body to not get used to the same routine. one day start with flat bench, another with decline.
    now i dont like splitting exercises coz the muscle seem to lose strenght. try doing flat bench, triceps and then go to the incline bench ull see what i mean.
    i work on my chest then i go to the triceps, no splitting.

    priority principle, by arnold s. the idea is to train your weakest link first. do compound strength movements first then suplemental
