That's about the time I take off, how often do you bench during the week?

I bench every 4 days or so

This is what my routine is like

Day 1 Legs:
Squats (8,8,6,4)
Hack Squat 3x10
Extensions 3x10
Leg Curls 3x10
Calf raises (8,8,6,4)

Day 2 Chest:
Bench (8,8,6,4)
Incline Press (8,8,6,4)
Decline (8,8,6,4)
DB Flies 3x10
Dips 5x10

Day 3 Back:
Deadlift (8,8,6,4)
Barbell Rows (8,8,6,4)
Dumbell Rows (8,8,6,4)
Side lateral raises (8,8,6,4)
Shrugs (8,8,6,4)
Front raises (8,8,6,4)

Day 4 Misc:
Behind neck press 4x10
Isolated DB Curls 3x6
Straight Bar Curls 3x6
Hammer Curls 3x6
Close Grip Bench 3x6
Skull Crushers 3x6
Wide grip pull ups 4x10


REPEAT

That seems like a lot espcially the chest.

How old are you? (I don't always believe whats listed, and you look older).

I think you're going thru a longbone growth spurt...and you might have been depressing it with your rather heavy routine (as Minh astutely points out).

Have you ever heard of a herb called Cissus quadrangularis? It might be just the thing to help.

Otherwise, I am scratching my head here...overtraining, maybe....Cissus will help modulate stress effects on joints, bone, and muscle tissue.

Three months...without any rest days at all??

No, can't be the case. That would be severe overtraining to be sure, glucocorticoid receptor hell in joints-connective tissue-muscle, possibly stunting bone growth, and playing havoc with brain development too.

Now, how many days each week did you take off from strength and cardio training, Kefe?

I usually take 2 days a week off

You appear to be between the age of 12-14, by photograph. I'm thinking you might have training stress issues on connective tissue. Will your parents pop for supplements for you? I want you to consider taking that Cissus.

You need to take two weeks off, pronto. If you got a Walmart nearby, purchase and start to use turmeric extract - 1 capsule with a meal.

Tomorrow morning, take your resting pulse and record it in your training journal. Report it here as well. You keep track of your height as well as weight?
If so, can you report changes over the last six months to a year?

You doing cardio on top of this training? If so, how many days per week? For how long?

How long does it take you to get thru your routine each day?

Well here is another thing i did cardio for the first time this week and i already had low bf.And yes i am 12

You shouldn't be smoking marijuana, KEFE.

WHat kind of cardio did you do? Volume is a little high for someone your age, and if you are the little freak that I think you are in terms of anality of your diet during your off week, you could be dehydrated which wouldn't help matters. You need full recovery, and training 5 days a week is rather high for someone your age, I rarely do more than 4 unless I count speed/conditioning days.
