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?

K. I'm not new to lifting or anything. I've been doing all the compound "Olympic" lifts since high school. What I did for my back (besides deadlift) was just cable rows and single arm dumbell rows. I can still do 3 sets of 10 with 60 pound dumbells and keep good form. I just never did many pullups or pulldowns though.

Oh okay fair enough. Personally I do more rows than anything but chin ups and pulldowns are very fun to do.

I'm just a big boi. I've never been able to do more than like 3 pull ups. Right now I could probably do 1 if I really tried.

Okay in that case start with the lat pulldowns and work your way from there.
