Reply With QuoteIt looks like your Wed = chest & back, not just chest.
I would DEFINITELY split up the Sunday - Wed schedule. Its all upper body back to back. I would stick legs in the middle of that but not next to back day, and probably use one of your off days to seperate them as well. You're not giving any of your upper body muscle groups to recover at all.

Am I overtraining delts?
On Sunday I do delts/abs, and it goes like this:
crunch w/ dumbell on an incline
Upright rows
standing dumbell press
rear delt dumbell raise
On mondays I do arms, and it goes like this:
kickbacks
A bar pressdowns
Dips
straight barbell curls
hammer dumbell curls
Wednesday is chest:
Cable crossovers
flat dumbell press
incline dumbell press
dumbell rows
deadlifts
Friday is legs:
Sqauts
extrensions
leg curls
calf raises
--------------------------------------
What do you guys think about this split? Should I switch it up to avoid overtraining?

I try to split up the upper body workouts with that offday- hoping it would be enough. What would you suggest as a better split? and how many days apart would they be? thanks for taking time out to help me

Why dont you try
Chest/Tris -Sun
Back/Bis -Mon
Delts/Abs -Wed
Legs -Fri
No need to have a separate arms day when you can hit them on your Back and Chest days

I like that split, used a very similar one a few years back. Plenty of recovery time, made some nice gains. Originally Posted by Elson

Day1 Chest/Shoulders/Tris
Day2 Legs/Calves
Day3 Back/Shoulders/Bis/Forearms
Day4 Abs/Calves
...has been my favorite for a while. My shoulders and calves like the frequent stimulation. I insert days off whenever necessary but it's usually 2 days on 1 day off.
