Working out 6 days a week.

[stillskinny]

Hey i was wondering if its over training if i workout 6 days a week. A normal week for me goes something like this:

Mon - Chest
Tues - Back
Weds - Tris
Thurs - Bis
Fri- Legs
Sat - Abs/Shoulders
Sunday - REST

Intensity is moderate. I have about 5 exercises each day with about 3-4 sets and 10-15 reps each.

you dont need days for tris and bis, tris\chest bis\back compliment each other....

why dont u just combine some of ur days together like

monday:
chest, shoulder, tri's, abs

wednesday:
back, bi's, and abs

friday:
legs and abs

im having trouble gaining any type of growth. Thought i woudl split things up and give each bodypart a day.

You're only training each muscle group once a week so no its not overtraining.

this isnt overtraining but you might be able to up the frequency by combining some of these. just a thought

up the frequency? like workout each bodypart more than once?

looks a lil advanced, if you do happen to do bis in one day, only do like 5 sets.
which you could've done done your back day.

personally, i dont like it. try some other things if you're not growing.

dude i've tried alot. and it all goes down to my diet. im not eating enough calories. maybe ill stick to a 3 day split.

thanks for the advice everyone.

Rather than have your bi's and tri's on seperate days, combine them into one day. Also you routine is 90% identical to mine. Try this.

Monday-chest
Tuesday-back-abs
Wed-bi/tris
Thrus-Legs
Frid-shoulders

Due this for about 8 weeks, then switch it up

Monday-back-abs
Tuesday-chest
Wed-legs
Thurs-bi/tris
Friday-shoulders

Alternate between these two every 8-12 weeks. This will keep your body guessing and fresh. In return you will minimize plateaus and keep growing. Also dont be afraid to incorporate different exercises/change orginal ones. For example for the first4 weeks for chest start with Flat BB bench, then after the 4 weeks, begin with Incline BB bench, this will also assist in keeping your body shocked, just as an example. Good luck.

ive been doing each body part once a week. works for me lad - i'd stick with it. heres how my workout goes;

CHEST

BICEPS

LEGS

TRICEPS

BACK

SHOULDERS and traps

REST

I alternate abz and calfs every other day. tried every body part twice in two weeks too ! looked like this;

CHEST then BICEPS

LEGS then TRICEPS

BACK then TRAPS and SHOUDLERS

=[repeat]= days rest inbetween

CHEST then BICEPS

LEGS then TRICEPS

BACK then TRAPS and SHOULDERS

I found it hard to goto the gym twice a day really. burnt me out a little. only did this for 4 weeks but i definatly grew keep at it fella. i'd stick to one body part a day 6 or 7 times a week.

remember - you are what you eat

peace
