    I dunno, you tell me - you should figure it out pretty soon if you're experienced. Someone else's opinion on how much volume you can handle isn't really that applicable.

    It's a bit odd.
    5 lots of rows and then you add to this fronts squats twice is probably overkill for upper back limited work.

    Oddly you may well lack quad work, definitely lack glute work, and could probably use a pure hinge.

    I see… what would you suggest switching out or rotating? I’m lifting in my basement with only a barbell and dumbells for now.

    Any back squat variation for one of the fronts.
    High or low bar, regular, pause, pin

    I'd probably ditch the barbell rows entirely and keep the bulk of my back volume to single arm / band or cable work.

    Less systemic fatigue, same hypertrophy work rate.

    Finally I'd add 1 of RDL, Good Morning, Hip Thrust to 1 day

    What's the deal with the odd number of reps for a lot of exercises?

    Is that just your current max on an increasing rep progression scheme or did you pick those numbers for a reason?
