I weigh 185 and i take at least 185 grms of protein a day. I was taking 10 grms of creatine on workout days with 75 grms of dextrose but I moved that back to just 5 grms of creatine before my workout. I also take a good multivitamin. I take glutamine with my protein shake and I take some BCAA amino acid pills 3 times a day. Is this overtraining and if so can you guys help me with a new workout cause I have done this one for a month now. I want to gain mass and strength both. I try to get at least 8 hrs of sleep a night. Thanks for your help.

I would go with a 3 to 4 day split:
Monday Chest/shoulder
Tuesday Legs/abs
Thursday Bi's/tri's
Friday Back
or
Monday Chest/tri's/shoulders
Wednesday Legs/abs
Friday Back/bi's
For large muscle groups like Back/chest/legs pick 3-4 exercises for around 12 total sets and for small like Arms shoulders go with 2-3 exercises for no more than 6-9 total sets.

Thanks scotty you really helped me out. With this other workout I was doing I gained both stregnth and muscle but now I guess my body was exhausted so that is why i wasnt gaining. But thanks for your help.
Glad to help, Gopro is the expert here so if you need some good routine splits do a search under his name.

Hey bro im no expert but i would keep it short and intense...i had a similar workout to what you posted....cut back and keep it intense..and eat like an crazed animal...this is what i would recommend...
chest..flat, incline presses, flyes or pullovers..
back..chins, barbell row, t-bar, pull down, and goodmornings
legs....Squats, deadlifts, legpress, leg extension, leg curls...
bi's...barbell curl, preacher, and hammer curls
tris...close grip bench, skull crushers, and kick backs...
shoulders...arnold press, military press...
thanks guys for your help!!
your workload is a bit high.

Keep up the hard work, here is my workout routine
Bi,s and Tri,s

Chest

Shoulders

Leg,s

Back

During each workout I end with situps,once a week I do alot of abs to finish my routine. I do alot of reading of magazines and change what I am doing to keep the workout fresh so my muscles
don,t get used to the same routines.

Where's Your Mustache LOL
to keep the gains coming take a longer brake between cycles it helped me get through that blasted plateu!
The harder you try the tougher you will be!
