recently my gym partner has mentioned working out 5 days a week, he suggested:
monday - Chest, triceps
tuesday - back, biceps
wednesdays - legs, abs
thrusday - rest
friday - shoulders, chest
i would call myself a hardgainer, i am taking PHD PharmaGain and trying to eat well and regularly, would working out 4 times a week be a bad idea for bulking?
also if anyone can think of any better variations to my days, please say!
thanks

Unless your chest is lacking relative to teh rest of your body there is no reason to do it 2 times a week. Stop worrying so much about if what your doing is too much, what you really need to start worrying about is if it is enough. I think people are WAAAY to scared of over training when the majority of them have probably not even been close to it.

If you are going to do chest twice a week then you should probably do back twice a week as well to avoid an imbalance.
As long as you are eating enough and getting enough rest then you will be fine. Just remember that more isn't always better - especially for a "hardgainer".My Journal (RIP 05/11 - 09/13):
