What is the rationale for so many pull up and pull down movements? Rather than like 50/50 pull-down/ups and rowing variations on the same day. Is there a benefit for two days split up?

Im like 4-5 weeks into an experimental phase, that start as a similar split to 1 Lift a day routine. Quickly it has transitioned into more of a 1 Body Part a day type split.

So as of now it as follows…

Supplemental Day
Posterior Day
Deltoid Day
Row Day
Pec Day
Quad Day
Pull Up Day

I had also started with percentages each day when it started as a routine of dead’s, ohp, row, pull up, bench, squat, etc. So I am actually experimenting with that as well which of course the days that had rep ranges lower than 6 quickly went away. They were based off the Cube Method.

This is all a result of life changing for me. Minus the weekend, all of these workouts and maybe for a month or so prior, are all on my lunch break. I also wanted to do cardio every day so that reduces the time I have to train as well. Of course there are other methods I could use but I am enjoying trying this.

Optimally I think there is a benefit in splitting though. The potential for more focus on a certain area and ability to maintain an intensity is there with splitting but I am no scientist haha

*so the bars at the new gym have practically no knurling. Basically did two reps to 3 inches from lock out, back to back haha. Bar just kept rolling out of my left hand (over hand). Right (under hand) held up but probably only due to me still training my hand for arm wrestling. Sucks because this would have been my first 5 plate lift of 2023 :’( … so probably will be my first year in a long time that I haven’t hit a 5 plate lift…. Excuse #37: I was also hung over haha.

My bar here at home is a 30 yr old stiff bar , knurling is all but a memory , just get some chalk and you'll be set man.
