Here's an idea

So the idea behind proper strength training is to start with large muscle groups and then work your way to smaller muscle groups. This is encouraged so that your smaller muscle groups can help your big muscle groups lift as much as they can.

Like a regular workout could look like this:
chest
quads
back
hamstrings
calves
triceps
biceps
abs

Because your biceps help your lats to perform a lat pull down, for example...and your abs help you do everything...they should be worked last.

However, I suggest, that once in awhile you mix up the sequence. Start with smaller muscle groups and work to larger muscle groups.

This is just one more way to confuse your body and help bring about change.

Good luck!
