Order of exercises

When I work out, after a brief warm-up, I do squats, deadlifts and bench presses first, because that is when I have the most energy. Would you do something else first, or is that okay?

That works, you lucky dog. I can’t do any of those lifts anymore without major modifications.

Actually and honestly, I prefer to mix up my training and exercises to accommodate my aging muscles and structure. Check out this recent IOL Newsletter for a list of favorite exercises and how I incorporate them.

Also, scan any of the last year’s IOL weeklies for hints and tips and styles related to my most recent and lovable training methodologies.
