    Will this be overtraining or should I be fine?

    I started with a full body routine doing one exercise per muscle group, but it doesn't seem like it's enough..... Would I be able to do this routine 3 non-consecutive days (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) and see gains? Should I lift heavy with 2-3 reps or lift medium for 8-10 reps?

    Back Exercise

    Bent-Over Barbell Rows
    Pull-Ups

    Chest Exercise

    Incline Barbell Press
    Bench Press

    Shoulder Exercise

    Overhead Press
    Chin-Ups

    Leg Exercise

    Hack Squats
    Deadlift

    Bicep Exercise

    Standing Barbell Curls
    Preacher Curls

    Tricep Exercise

    Lying Tricep Press
    Incline Tricep Press

    Calf Exercise

    Standing Calf Raises

    Ab Exercise

    Hanging Leg Raises
    Crunches
    Sit-Ups

    if i were you i would go for the 8-10 rep range

    doing low reps like 2-3 makes you more prone to injury

    try something like this

    Mon-Chest/triceps/Biceps
    Tue-
    Wed-Legs/abs
    Thur-
    Fri-Back/shoulders
    Sat-
    Sun-

    I'm always doing singles, doubles and triples and if anything doing those heavy teaches your body to be as efficient as possible. But then again I'm more of a O-lifter and less concerned about slow tempo'd reps and all that.

    I can't even squat in my basement so I'm not too worried about gaining mass amounts of strength or size at the moment. I'm looking to get some beginner gains then actually join a gym and get serious.

    Been using heavy weight and doing 3x5 I usually hit 3x5, then 3x4, then 3x3 but I'm increasing weight everytime I hit a complete 3x5 with no failure. Raised my deadlift max by 10lbs this week.

    ah right okay so you do 3 sets on every exercise?
    thats like me if you do, full body 3 times a week 3 sets of each exercise, 'cept i only do one exercise per muscle, so each muscle gets 9 sets per week.
