Your really over doing it... But I'm bout to go bowling so i'm sure someone will clear it up on how your over doing it.

BigE

so are you saying i should train one body part a day like Mon do chest and Tues do legs and so forth b/c i did that and then someone told to to change it up and work out more a week.

To begin with...

Dude, you are doing about 30-40 sets per workout! After 45 minutes your muscles aren't going to respond to what you are doing anymore. Cut WAY back on your volume. You don't need to do 3 sets each of flat, incline and decline bench, for example. Pick one, do it for a week, and then rotate them around.

You're also working out six times per week and not giving your body any chance to recover. When you think of your time in the gym, think in terms of quality, not quantity. Your time outside spent eating properly and resting is where your gains come from, not lifting like a madman for 2 hours 6 days a week.

Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.

The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.

MeLo

that is just wayyyyyyyyy too much, are you sure the book wants you to do that much a day?
