are there ratios that should be maintained between different work outs?

talking dumbells here since that's all i have access to at the moment
as an example if i'm doing 40lb one arm rows, should i be doing 30lb curls? etc

chest/back/shoulders
tricep/biceps
quads/calfs

etc, what if any ratios are there that should be maintained?

Overthinking shit man. I would be more concerned with the fact that you only have dumbells not allowing you to maximize gains with big barbell lifts.

The truth I’ve discovered is that you don’t have to lift enormous weights to grow muscle. By using stricter form, slower negatives, and stretching between sets you can get an incredible pump in all your workouts. Numbers are an abstraction, especially to muscles. Your body doesn’t know the absolute weight of what you lift, it only recognises how heavy it feels. The secret is to make lighter weights feel heavier. – Frank Zane
