Lesson 4.1

Don’t major in minor things. - Jim Rohn

Don't focus on the small stuff, focus on what will have the biggest outcome.

Lesson

Work big muscles to small muscles

Don’t fatigue your small muscles before you train the big muscles. Total Body, Lower Body before Upper Body. Legs before Arms. Multi-joint before Single-Joint. Free-weights before machines. Weight Training before Conditioning (commonly known as Cardio).
