I can't do rows and lat pulldowns on the same day. I've tried a bunch of times and I can't seem to get it to work. One always tires me out and kills my performance in the other. So, I'm gonna mix up my routine, but I don't know the best way to do it.

Should I do bench and rows on one day, then overhead press and lat pulldowns on the next? Or, should I do bench and lat pulldowns on one day, and rows and overhead press on the next?

I know this will all come down to what feels the best, but I'd like to hear your opinions. Any suggestions?

You're doing too much weight.

kek tabbed too soon. Two back exercises or two shoulder exercises shouldn't ruin you in the other.

https://i.ibb.co/0Gk9bzt/image.png that's my current weekly routine. I'm exhausted at the end of it but that's the point. I can still get through exercises.

Can I ask how long you have been training? You are doing 94 sets on arms each weeks and that is juiced to the gills bodybuilder type of volume!

94 sets of arms

Okay now break it down to which muscle is doing the work.

1.5+ish years minus like 6 months due to muh (((lockdowns))) etc.

Also the set/rep numbers in that image aren't what I do anymore. I'm currently on a periodized routine. The 5 weeks I'm on right now are 3-5 reps of ~90% 1RM. I will follow this with 3 weeks of the same exercises done by way of 5 sets 8-15 reps each of 65-75% 1RM.

The 5 week plan is to build strength. The 3 week plan is to get rid of fatigue and for hypertrophy (size).

I read the program, never said it was 94 sets of biceps and triceps.. I know it can be annoying for someone to question your approach uncalled for, but in my defense you posted it voluntarily so I think my question is in good faith. If you are progressing and are happy with the progress keep at it, if not it is because it's too much volume to recover from on a weekly basis.

And fuck the lockdowns. People are getting more unhealthy from not socializing and training than they are from corona.
