PPL Split

I had a question on PPL Split routine. I am planning to follow this routine for 5 or 6 days a week. I was wondering if I should keep 2 rest days (saturday and sunday) or just 1 rest day would be enough, which would be optimal and more effective. Second I wanted to ask, should I do push, pull, push, pull, legs OR should I follow pull, push, pull, push, legs. Lastly I wanted to ask if I should keep legs in the beginning of the week (Monday) or should I end off with legs (Friday).

Band Snapped On Me :D

So today while I was doing my routine bands exercise this resistance band snapped on me. This occured when i was doing pull aparts from the front. The band was anchored to the top of my door and it just randomly decided to snap on me. It snapped from the very top as shown in the photo attached. I want to know if it was my fault so I could be more careful in the future with my other resistance bands. Mind you this band is rated 11.4 KG which is 25 lbs and I'm sure and don't think I was anywhere near that number. I was a fair distance away from the door maybe like 1.5-2 feet away. The band wasn't even in any high OR low tension and I know that cuz when I do bicep curls with that same band I actually struggle a little bit. When the band was anchored to the door I felt none of that tension and it was fairly easy to pull the band. So yh if you guys could lmk if its my fault and if it is (or not) then how can I be more careful in the future with my other bands to prevent this from happening.

Advice Needed!!!

I'm a 17 year old teenager getting into resistance band workout. I workout 1 hour 30 mins DAILY. 30 minutes is spent on breaks and 1 hour is the actual workout. My question is that I always go in a random order with my workouts. I don't have a specific amount of sets or reps I do. I do each and every workout till failure to the point my body just can't do more. Pretty much I train each muscle in a random order till failure. Like I'll train biceps then go to chest exercises then shoulder then maybe back to biceps, later to triceps etc etc. Then i take a short 3-5 mins break to cooldown and hydrate. Then rinse and repeat. Currently i'm only working on my upper body and nothing on my lower body as I want to grow my chests, shoulders, biceps, triceps, back, core and forearms mainly. Point is I want to ask if this is effective to gain muscle fairly quickly and safely. Should I follow a specific order or should I keep going as Im going right now. It's been 4 days since I started and I only got really sore on the second day of workout, after that it has been fine. (I have not been getting sore even though i've been pushing myself to my limits). I would appreciate if someone could give me valuable advice that I will try my best to follow if Im doing something wrong. That's pretty much all.

Thanks in advance!
