Well, that would depend upon when you let them go and from what height you dropped them! If you don't drop them at the same time, the one you released first will hit the ground first -- unless it was released from a greater height, in which case it may not! By now I hope you can see that your question left out a lot of important information. But I suppose you were assuming that both rocks were released simultaneously and from identical heights. In that case, they will both hit at the same time, unless one of the rocks has more air resistance than the other, which could cause them to hit at different times. But it's unlikely that two rocks you could hold would have very different air resistances, so both will strike the ground simultaneously, because the acceleration due to gravity is independent of an object's mass.

Should you exercise large muscles first or small?

Big muscles first. Because if you do small ones first, by the time you start with the big ones you wont have enough energy. When you work your big muscles first, you use your small ones as well.
