    Full Body Workouts - How often?

    I usually do one every second day - but schedule difficulties this week (football - training Wednesday / needing to rest for a final on Saturday) mean I have to change some of that - I'm also off all week so thought I could up my frequency;

    I just did Saturday and Sunday, I'm thinking about doing the same workout today and tomorrow, training Wednesday, another workout Thursday then rest till Saturday?

    Basically it's Full-Body Workout four days in a row, a training session, then another FBW. Is this overdoing it? My aim is to gain muscle-mass.

    Yea thats a little much, you need atleast a day of rest before you lift again.

    I've never done full body workouts in my life until a few weeks ago. I'm only doing it for 8 weeks but anyway...

    Mon-Chest, back, arms, legs, shoulders
    Tues-HIIT and abs
    Wed-Chest, back, arms, legs, shoulders
    Thurs-long duration cardio and abs
    Fri-Chest, back, arms, legs, shoulders
    Sat-I play some sort of sport
    Sun-off

    and I've actually been making decent gains. I've noticed I'm getting leaner but getting stronger too. Not so much mass, but I've got a better "pop" in my chest and quads.
