    I don't know, I do a 3-Day split twice a week (training each body part twice a week and training abs each day alternating between crunches and reverse crunches with 30-45 minutes on a bike). I'm usually in the gym for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. My routines look a little something like this.

    Mon/Thurs - Chest/Back

    Bench Press
    Incline Bench Press
    Flys
    Pullovers
    Bent-Over Dumbell Rows
    Pulldowns
    Seated Cable Rows

    Tues/Fri - Shoulders/Biceps/Triceps/Forearms

    Shoulder Presses
    Lat Raises
    Heavy Upright Rows or Shrugs
    Seated Dumbell Curls
    Preacher Curls
    Tricep Extensions
    Close-Grip Presses
    Wrist Curls
    Reverse Wrist Curls

    Wed/Sat - Legs/Lower Back

    Squats
    Leg Curls
    Calve Raises
    Lunges
    Hyperextensions

    I usually lift pretty heavy but I don't go to failure, I'll add weight and decrease the reps and do about 4-5 sets for each excersize.

    After my workouts (when I get done with my cardio) I just feel wide awake and ready to go. I'm pretty pumped but my muscles aren't sore. I'm usually not tired in the least. I feel like I'm ready to go play some basketball.

    If anyone feels like recommending ANY changes in my workout feel free. Maybe I'm missing something or someone knows a way that might be better.

    where are you rest days? 6 days in a row is too much man, got rest. Also, I'd do lower back with back and have legs on their own day.

    I feel pretty good after a workout, I usually finish with some cardio and hit the shower. I feel on a bit of a high after it ya know, never tired unless I'm low on my sleep (which is not unusual for me)

    oh and NOTD your overtraining big time man, your workouts are too long (mine last around 1 1/2 hours and that is apparently too long!), over the summer I was working out half as much as you were doing (doing a 3 day split once, not TWICE), but oh well if your making progress stick with it, I guess progress is the main thing

    I agree, workouts are too long and too many days without rest. I single out a body part per day...workouts generally run 45 min. to a little over an hour..no cardio for me

    Depends if I go balls to the walls or not. Also dependss on how much sweating I do. Sometimes I lift for a half hour then go mow my lawn to make me sweat. Last week it topped 100 degrees and I have to mow half an acre. I drink about a gallon of water alone just during that period, but man I feel great!

    I say that the most I'm tired is after a leg day(stomach turning makes me wanna lay down yet no sleep) and on others I am pretty much normal. I do sleep well on my training days of heavy lifting but as for being tired nope.
    The World is Mine cause I'm in it.
