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?

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.

rofl dude I wasn't calling you out. I was just making a point. Which muscles worked and how they're worked is important.

On Leg + Back day you'll notice 2 sets of leg press which is weird except one is low and close foot placement for quads and one is high and wide foot placement for hamstrings. This type of methodology can be used for all things. I could tilt my feet inward or outward on the leg press to hit different heads of the quad / hamstring. Same with flat bench BB press, narrow grip = triceps dominant.

There's my actual schedule.

Alright, I understand.

Since I'm very, very found of training legs and back and I dont find your legpress weird at all, I cycle the high and wide foot placement often. Compared to me you do a lot of chest, I have about the same volume on pulls as you do on push. Your actual schedule I might be able to finish.
