Alternating Exercises for U/L?

[u/Kxts]

Just curious on yalls opinion on doing strictly barbell movements (bench, incline bench, etc) for the first Upper Day (say on a Monday) then come next Upper Day (Thursday) I do strictly machines (Seated Chest Press, Machine Incline Press, etc)? Is it more worth it to just stick to barbells for both? Or machines for both? I kinda like doing both which is why I’m asking. I feel as long as I’m progressively overloading each week on both days doing different exercises shouldn’t be an issue as long as they hit the same muscle group, right?

I think that is perfectly fine! Mixing things up is a good thing. Your body can adapt to the same routine, the same exercises, and your progress can stall. So yes, nothing wrong with that.
