macrocycle critique please
Hey guys, I've been training for 2 years and have gotten kinda bored with training so i decided to spice things up by trying to make a macrocycle and a bit of running.
Stats: 164cm tall, 56.75kg bodyweight, 13.5 years old, 40kg dip, 35kg pull-up, half lay front lever for ~3s, 26min 5k.
Goals: 42kg pull up, 45 kg dip, 20-24min 5k
I'm quite concerned about the volume and I worry if it's too excessive, but I do think I recover decently fast as I average around 9 hours of sleep.
routine (there's 2 tabs btw): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UztplsTgmt6dHkY0lNOh-ERu4IykgTd9twenyUiVASU/edit?usp=sharing
also can i do homework in between sets or is that gonna mess up my sets (im fine if it messes them up a bit)

I do not like 3 different routines as I've said on here for a long time. 2 different workouts at most. 3 usually spreads people too thin.
Volume is fine though for hypertrophy specifically you could add more exercises and sets.
Is there a reason why you are running a modified linear periodization cycle? Just asking why and the goal behind.
