I’ve been lifting for 5 months now. In the past month I have switched from 3 sets of 8 to 5 sets of 5. While I had been lifting 3x a week, because the work outs are now longer I’ve split it into two days. So now I spend 6 days in the gym. Here’s my routine:
Mon, Wed, Fri:
Back Squats
Deadlift
Tues, Thurs, Sat:
Push press
Pull ups
Bench press
Lying row
By the end of the second day work out I’m usually really tired and not performing as well as if I had started with that exercise. Is this an indication my routine is not as efficient as it might be? I’m open to suggestions. I also rest 90 seconds in between sets, is this the right length?
