The muscles can be split into two categories, major and minor.

Major muscles are the very large muscles that are exercised first, followed by the minor muscle groups. The minor group are the smaller muscles.

You can combine 1 major and 1 or 2 minor muscles, or combine a number of minor muscles. Training major muscle groups in one session, or even in the same day, is not ideal.

The major muscles:

• Chest
• Back
• Legs

The minor muscles:

• Shoulders
• Triceps
• Biceps
• Hams
• Calves
• Abs
• Forearms
