Orders in which exercises should be done?

Guys, if the coach says something you really shouldnt **** with the program and make it your own.

If you were doing PPP would you leave squats til last and do power cleans instead?

this is a slow lift program which is built around the squat. even if it only adds 0.0025kgs more to the squat (which would make it more than worth it imo) it should be left as is.
 
hang on are people doing 3 sets of something eg presses one after the other. i thought you had to do one set of something then one set something until you finally got to 3 sets of everything.
eg. 1x8 squat
1x8 press
1x8 bench
1x8 squat

etc etc until 3 sets are complete
 
3 sets of one exercise at a time... but you can do whatever takes your fancy if your really want to.
 
Don't always believe what you think.

Nobody is right/ nobody is wrong... Try it, if it doesn't work try something else, keep what works, chuck what doesn't.

This is what it's all about folks, don't just blindly follow some routine, whether it's pendlays, ripp's, markos or whatever.

Too true, everyone is different, its whatever works for you
 
There is no one size fits all program. Programs are specific to goals. Exercises can serve different purposes depending on what your goals are.

The reason why Rip has power cleans last is that their role in the program is essentially as an assistance exercise for deadlift. You are not so much training the clean, as cleaning to train the deadlift. The pressing in between squats is to give some recovery before the cleans.

There is no reason you can't swap things around if that serves your purposes. Squatting first or squatting last can be both be good.

My program has the heavy squat day shared with heavy bench day. Squats go last. This is a killer, but it works for us for 2 important reasons: (1) it's a powerlifting program. Squats come first in competition and are really important to set a good total. By training squats last, you feel you really fresh for the squats when you compete; and (2) if you bench heavy after heavy squats, you feel totally wiped and your shoulders are wrecked. Squatting after benching actually helps me stretch out the chest/shoulder area.
 
The theory I use at PTC is:

We lift in the same order we compete in - SQ - BP - DL

We also make sure we train at the same time we compete, around 11.00am, which is why Saturday sessions are important, as most people lift from 6.00pm onwards.

Its very different lifting before lunch.

All of this can be easily overcome though, Kelly and Nico never lift on Saturday mornings and they went okay.

Strong is strong.
