Why is facepull x2 only?

Haha, no good reason - that's just me trying to make the program look balanced. Doing three sets is totally fine (same applies for the other exercises with 2 sets).
How often should I change the type of workout for example free weights/machine?

I am following what you recommended. I don’t want to over work either. Energy is limited.

Ideally as little as possible and not at all while you are still making improvements. Eventually you're probably going to have to increase volume to continue making improvements. You could do that by doing a more advanced program, or, if you're still stuck with training on these particular days, you could stick with with program and start adding sets to the muscles that are stalling.
Doing an extra set of an isolation lift isn't going to be a problem energy-wise.
Here's a great YouTube channel for workout routines that you can try on your available days: Workout with Tarik. They have a variety of videos targeting different body parts, and you can find workouts that fit your fitness level and goals. Additionally, to add muscle mass without gaining body fat, it's important to eat a balanced diet with plenty of protein and to incorporate some form of cardiovascular exercise into your routine.

Little as what possible? I increase reps by 1 every week if I can. Same weights until I reach max you recommended for each set.

Have a look at what I responded to - that should answer your question.
Hope the program is still working for you, your approach sounds fine. Remember you don't need to do the same number of reps for every set, doing 10,9,8 etc is fine. It's normal to fatigue and drop reps, especially when going close to failure.

What body parts should I be doing for those 3 days?
5’9”, 160lbs in the morning after waking up. Smart scale has my BF% between 20%-23%.
What can I do to add muscle mass without gaining BF%.
Note: I also practice Semen Retention and that has helped my energy.[/QUOTE]

Yes, it’s working. Enjoying it too by tracking it in the Strong app.
Why am I dropping reps?

Oh ok. Oh well, I can’t control that.
I am down to 157 lbs and hanging around 20-21% BF now.

No, but 173 posts in a thread over 2 months old just to find a 3 day program seems excessive.
I tell people that renting out my 2 bedroom places is as difficult to do as pouring water out of a boot with the instructions printed on the bottom of the heel. Your situation is the same.

Good to hear.
Dropping reps from set to set shouldn't be your goal but will happen naturally if you take sets close to failure and aren't taking super long rests between sets. For example, I did three sets of squats this week and got 8, 6 and 5 reps. Each set was about 1 RIR.

Everyone wants the perfect routine under the perfect circumstances, but life ain't perfect. Just do the work with what you can and the results will show based off of the effort you put into it.

This thread is like watching a train wreck in slow motion. You can't take your eyes off it.

Well until just recently it was an intimate conversation between OP & RF, since everyone else had figured out the Semen Retentor is a troll.
This has been going for time...
How many gains have been made?
Numbers on the lifts
Measurements
