Thread: too much?

Yes, unless your doing Doggcrap training,then it's fine.

if you train with a low volume you can hit the chest 3 times a week. but it doesn't mean that it's going to be more effective for increasing strength or stimulating hypertrophy than training it with a higher volume just one day a week.

so should i do it once or twice a week?

post the routine that you want to do

well this is what i am currently doing.

i normally do chest, biceps, and forearms on monday, wednesday, and friday.
and for chest i do regular bench, and fly. for biceps i do DB curls and preacher curls (is that the right name?) and for foreamrs i do wrist curls and the one where you have the weight tied to a rope and you pull it up.

on tuesdays, thursdays, and saturdays i do triceps and shoulders. for triceps i do DB extension and lying BB extension. shoulders i do BB shoulder press, the one where you hold heavy DB's and pull the weights up and down using your shoulders, front raises, and side raises.

i also do an ab workout and 15 minute cardio every day.

should i rotate exercises instead of doing the same ones every other day? is there something i should be doing that i'm not? any help would be appreciated.

When do you do legs?

Leg workouts are key for building a good physique. Mainly squats.

An also, don't train abs everyday. You could probably get away with training them 2-3 times per week, depending on how hard you're hitting them. They are a fast recovery muscle, but you should treat them like any other muscle group.

i dont really work out the legs...except for the eliptical every other day.

so i should start doing squats...anything else?

6 sets of squats 1 dropset of leg extentions 4 sets of deadlifts and 1 dropset of leg curls is what I do for legs.

IMO, training 6 days a week is overtraining!!! When do you have time to rest and GROW?

i train 5-6 days a week but i set my routine so every muscle gets 7 days to heal...its been working well so far

At first , but your body recuperates as a whole. I would never work out more than 2 days in a row. But hey, thats me!!! If it works for you then keep goin'!!!
