Do I over-train? Here's a simple layout of my workout over a week. (I give myself 48 hours rest between the same muscle group)
Monday - Biceps, forearms, lats, abs
Tuesday - Triceps, chest, shoulders
Wednesday - Biceps, forearms, lats, abs
Thursday - Triceps, chest, shoulders
Friday - Biceps, forearms, lats, abs
Saturday - Triceps, chest, shoulders
Sunday - Legs in general
I know it looks VERY top heavy but i find working out like this is better for me. I do not ache when repeating the same muscle groups and after every session, I increase the weight. I do high weights and low reps. I eat very healthy and sleep well. I have been following this for around 3 weeks and i'm seeing slight results in triceps, lats and forearms.
Thanks for your time

Over training?

I'm gonna be flat out honest, that is THE WORST routine I've ever seen.
Care to explain why you workout your arms 3 times a week and your legs once?
Also, why are you training 7 days a week?
And what makes you think you're over training?
And when do you work your back? There's more then one muscle in the back, ya know...
Please answer this honestly so I can help you properly.Attract toxic girls but I'm not toxic crew

You should allow 2 days of rest for your bigger muscle groups ( biceps, triceps, chest, back ) while small muscle groups like your abs you could work everyday. I would find a better split that is accustomed to your wants. I personally do
Mon: Chest/Tri's
Tues: Back/Bi's/Forearms
Wed: Shoulders/Legs
Thurs: -Start Over-
(with abs every day)
This allows 2 days of rest per muscle group and works well for me.

Biceps three times a week? No..get on a premade routine, don't pride yourself with making your own. You're overtraining your arms so badly...

Train legs 2x a week aswell.
Have atleast 1-2 rest days.
Also you are not overtrianing, I don't think you understand the term overtrianing and what being in an overtrained state is.*Licks the angus first crew*
*Loves hbb girls heiny holes crew*
*Used to eat slugs as a kid crew*
*Wrestled a lepar crew*
*Collects hbb's farts in peanut butter jars crew*
*Cleans my feet with sandpaper crew*
*8" inch dink but 2" girth crew*
*Only clean dink every 2 weeks crew*
*Made a necklace pendant out of smegma crew*
