Order of exercises

Hi,

I am following foundations one and have several questions.

1. When is it better to do weighter mobility and prehab series? after warmup or after the strength training exercises?

2. When do you suggest to do skill work? right after warmup when you're fresh? after mobility? after strength exercises?

Thank you!

Hi Rokas, well i suggest you do additional work after the main exercises. For the rest what do you mean with skill work?

Ussually I incorporate HS or Movement course into my training. So would it be better to do those before strenght training or after?

It is best to incorporate skill training after your regular workouts.

Thank you both for the answers!

I was also wondering if there is any particulate order one should perform the strength exercises? Generally, I used to focus on the exercises that require the most strenght or are hardest for me first. However I wonder if the proposed sequence/sheme HBP->RC->SP (for upper body) and FL->SL->Mn->SLS (For core and lower) are somehow optimized and better?

Hi Rokas, I'm not one of the coaches, but I've found what works for me is splitting all the workouts across a few days.  Partly due to necessity (access to equipment) but I've found I feel better rested for certain exercises.  So for example, I do SLS and HBP on one day, and RC and Manna on a different day.  I believe Alessandro suggested a while back that it's best to do the exercises that need the most work first - e.g., if you're struggling to progress on HBP, then do that before the others on that day.
