    Can you guys help me with my routine.

    I done this routine for about a month. I think i am overtraining cause my body is going downhill instead of uphill. I dont have as much energy or and i am not making many gains. Here it is.

    Monday-Chest
    Bench-3 sets 8-10 reps
    Flat Dumbell Press 3 sets 8-10 reps
    Flat Fly-3 sets 8-10 reps
    Incline Dumbell-3 sets 8-10 reps
    Incline fly-3 sets 8-10 reps
    Fly machine-2 sets 8-10 reps

    Tuesday-Biceps
    Preacher curl Machine 3 sets 8-10 reps
    Wide grip curls- 3 sets 8-10 reps
    Hammer curls 3 sets 8-10 reps
    Incline Curls 3 sets 8-10 reps
    Alternate DB curls 3 sets 8-10 reps

    Wednesday-Rest or a little cardio

    Thursday Triceps
    Tri Extension machine 3 sets 8-10 reps
    Dips 3 set 10-15 reps
    Tri pulldown 3 sets 8-10 reps
    Overhead extension 3 sets 8-10 reps

    Friday- Legs
    Leg extension 3 sets 8-10 reps
    Leg Curl 3 sets 8-10 rep
    Leg Press 3 sets 8-10 reps
    Calve raise 3 sets 8-10 reps

    Saturday Back and shoulders
    Sitting rows-3 sets 8-10 reps
    Lowerback pull-ups 3 sets 8-10 reps
    Pull ups 3 sets 8-10 reps
    Shrugs 3 sets 8-10 reps
    Shoulder press 3 sets 8-10 reps

    Sunday-Rest

    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.
    Cool

    Glad to help, Gopro is the expert here so if you need some good routine splits do a search under his name.
