    is this workout decent

    I talked to someone who weighs 200 and lifts 315 4 times and this is his workout. Is it decent?

    day 1) chest
    (don't do front deltiods and tri's on same day because you just worked them hard in your bench and you will not be giving it your 100% he says)
    2) legs
    3) back
    4)deltiods
    5)triceps/biceps
    6)off
    7)off

    12 sets in all for each muscle, 2 minute break.

    My workout's still work for me as I weight 150 and can bench 175 10 times but soon I will hit a wall, since my strength is progessing slower and slower. Is mine better?

    day 1)chest, triceps, deltiods
    2)legs
    3)back, biceps
    4)off
    5)start again

    So tell us what they are specifically...

    A lot of this depends on the individual. If I were you and I were still making gains, I wouldn't change a thing. Why change something that works?

    Because his workout may work faster, the only thing that differs in our workout's is that I do about 30 sets for each main muscle and the days. We both do bench, incline, decline, rows and so on, nothing new, its just I do more. I just don't know if I am overtraining

    2) legs 1 hour
    3) back, bicep 2 hours

    and these are with only 30second to 1 minute breaks for mine

    1 and 3 to much. 2 almost acceptable.
    You are over training.

    45 minutes is optimal, one hour really should be the limit. But since you are only doing legs on this day, I would have to say over training here too.

    I also don't especially like the 3 on 1 off, start again schedule. Better two days on, one off. Two days on, two days off. Start again.

    Personally, for your routine, I would stick a day of rest after each session if you plan on remaining natural. You're welcome to try a routine like that, just watch for the signs and symptoms of overtraining. You could probably get away with it if you made all the workouts really low in volume with a low to moderate level of intensity.
    The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
