If I mention it its because I want to help not to tear down. But, you have to ask why would you set up a program where you're doing Bench Press and Rows two days of the week and then following it up with curls and kickbacks on the following day. It's not so much that you're doing this, as it is the thought process that would lead you to believe that this would be a good idea. It's the same thought process that led you to believe that doing a Fat Loss phase of NROL while having less than stellar dieting would lead to both fat loss and strength gains.
If your thought processes are leading you to these actions, then you're just not at the point where you should be designing your own programs. You would want to do alot more studying and reading to get to that point....but better yet...a lot more training to see what really does work. Try following a few programs that are suited to your primary goal, and following them to the letter. Record everything and then take look back at the end and see what you've learned.
Hey, I wanted to design my own programs from the beginning, and I did. Until I realized that I didn't know what I was doing and then started to take others advice. It wasn't until then that I started learning anything.
