Is your strength still progressing? If so i wouldn’t change a lot. If not i would consider a deload for a week and drop a little bit of volume. Maybe just dropping 1 or 2 sets of your compound work should be enough to recover properly.
And make sure you are doing everything possible for max recovery (sleep, food, supps, etc)

I think both is fine. Depending on the exercise i would either stay a little higher or lower in reps. The most important thing is to get stronger over multiple rep ranges

Felt great again today but decided to take an extra dwy off to spend the sunday with my family. Believe me, having a 3 year old boy is the most intense cardio I have ever done. ???? We where swimming in the afternoon and i was totally crushed afterwards ????

I wouldn’t bother to much. Try ti forget about the session. When your strength isn’t dropping the next sessions to i wouldn’t bother to much.
I would train like this workout never happened

It depends! Usually when I get more than 8 reps with perfect technique and I feel like I’ve got something left in the tank to touch a new weight. Yeah give it a try! I believe whenever you feel it’s there you need to go for it.
When you have given everything in your set and you feel like you have nothing left and there would be no benefit in trying to touch a new weight because you are already fatigued physically or mentally – safe it for your next workout! This can very from exercise to exercise! E.g. on legs or deadlifts no way I can do an extra “heavier” set. On lat pulldowns – yes of course! -
Rest day today after 3 days in a row with lots of pb’s! Almost every bodypart is feeling sore today! Did 30min on the bike this morning. Rest is just trying to recover for the next sessions. I’m so extremely happy with my performance in the gym so far! I’ve never been that strong, that big, that lean with just 200mg of test every 7 days!

Like most of the others said I would try to do it aways from my weight sessions. Weight training should always have the goal to build muscle or at least during a diet phase to maintain as much tissue as possible. Go in, go hard, go home and rest and recover!
If you have no time on your rest days to add extra cardio maybe try to be a little more acitve during the rest of the day to burn some extra calories. Take the stairs instead of the elevator! Go for a short walk instead of taking the car, etc.

Legs on the menu today! First time I was wearing sleeves in my heavy set of reverse banded hacks again! The goal was getting as strong as possible without sleeves before adding them! Last time I did 220 x 12! Today I did 240 x 12 with sleeves and it felt really easy! I think I’m very close to my all time peak strength! Most I have ever done was 260 x 8! In 3-4 weeks I should be able to do this again but with much improved technique!
Standing calve raises 1 set triple drop with a dc stretch at the end
Lying leg curls 2 sets
Reverse banded hacksquat 240 x 12 in sleeves, 190 x 21 no sleeves
Single leg horizantal leg press 130 x 13, 100 x 20
Adductor machine full stack x 15
Banded glute ham raises 10 reps -
Do what you can recover from and progress your lifts. I would recommend somewhere between 12 and max. 14 work sets total per session. That’s ideal in my case. The stronger i get, the less volume i can recover from.

Hy Mate! The question is why your triceps are not responding they same rate like e.g. your chest! Maybe have someone experienced looking over your execution!
What i see is missiong is an overhead extension which should be a staple in every triceps session because this is the only exercise where the triceps is in the max. leghtened and stretched position and this is the only exercise which hits the long head of the triceps which gives you the “hanging sweep” in the double biceps shot! Also try some dc stretching at the and of your session. Helped me a lot too!

Full body 2-3 times a week sounds pretty good to me too!
