Placing a smaller value before a larger value in a number or numeral indicates that the smaller value should be subtracted from the larger value. This is commonly seen in Roman numerals, where symbols like "IV" represent 4 (5-1) and "IX" represents 9 (10-1).

because you need the smaller muscle groups to do the larger groups exercises effectively, and if you didnt you would tire out the smaller groups before you did the bigger ones. If you do the large ones first, the strain of the force is spread over a larger area so you can do your small groups afterwards.
