Number of exercises in a workout

I was wondering what would be the best number of exercises one should do during a workout - currently i'm doing 4, 2 pulling and 2 pushing; i never used to do this but i started this to try it out like a month ago now because i wanted to make my workouts faster and get done with them earlier.

I do 5 sets pulling, 5 pushing, then 5 pulling and 5 pushing again. Exercises are separated by 2-3 minutes or so because i have to walk from my house to another building next to it where i have my rings and p-bars. They are all different exercises of course.

I can do these workouts fine so far but today i started thinking that maybe it would be best to do only 2 exercises in a given time and separate each pair of exercises by at least 30min or maybe an hour.

The reason i'm asking and thinking about this is because by the time i start the second pair of exercises, i'm already somewhat tired from the first ones so i obviously don't do them "fresh" and i think this will hold me down and make the progress slower. I suppose there is a big difference in doing exercises fresh rather than somewhat tired.

They're 3 workouts during the day, each one separated by 2 hours at least.

Sorry for the long post-

Sorry to post again so soon! But i was just thinking that another question that would really help me out, and which probably has to do with my previous one is, what is the max number of exercises that you should do during a day? Come to think of it this is something that i've wandered a lot but never actually asked about it.

Sorry again.

IMHO doing 3 fsp + 3 fbe is time efficient and effective
