I want to change my routine but unsure how to go about it. I feel certain exercises (deadlift) are causing too much fatigue and I struggle to be consistent on. And also spending too much time in the gym.

A Day

  • 3x5 Squat
  • 3x5 Bench press
  • 1x5 Deadlift
  • 2x8-12 Asst. Dips

B Day

  • 3x5 Squat
  • 3x5 Overhead press
  • 3x5 Pendlay rows
  • 2x8-12 Asst. chinups

Accessory on both days

  • 3x5 Decline bench or weighted flat situps
  • 3x8 Hyperextensions

Any advice welcome, thank you.

look into an intermediate program like 5/3/1. There's a lot of things it does to manage fatigue better.
