Choose a load or variation you can control, leaving about two or three more reps possible. Stop for pain or loss of control. Rest times and session lengths are starting estimates. Allow extra time for equipment setup or longer rests. The row target is per side. Use a different load for each exercise; shoulder accessories usually need less than presses or rows. https://mylifts.app/workouts/upper-body-dumbbell/
