    Hi guys
    IM new to the site and i wanted to introduced my self. I am 24 yrs old from Orlando Florida. I just started working out a couple months back and im hyped about it. When i first started out i was eating specific foods and eating 6 times a day to lose fat. I changed my entired diet from breads to drinks. Here is what im not sure about... Here is my schedule and routine, please review and tell me if im doing too much, too little etc
    I go to the gym 6 times a week. I normally go at 5am. I take a energy powder driink (carb) in the morning before i get there,
    when i get home, i mix 2 scoops of whey protein, a bit of low fat yogurt, 1% MILK , teaspoon of gluetemin powder and 2 teaspoons of old fashinoned peanut butter. for lunch, ill have turkey sandiwsh, or wheat pita with chicken breast, etc, and for dinner ill have a met-rx big 100 collosal bar since i dont have time too coook or fix anything. I leave my house at 5am, leave the gym and go to school, leave school and go home around 9pm. then i make a protein drink around 9pm, so my day is hecticccc..... but i;ll eat snacks thougth out the day and try to eat my meals and bars on a timely manner so my boddy and appetite gets used to eating, before i wouldnt have much of an appetite, now im hungry right before its time to eat.
    here is what i do now...
    Monday , wednesday, friday - chest, back, bicep, calves
    tuesday, thursday, saturday - quads, hamstrings, shoulders, and triceps
    sunday off....

    Since i only work out for about an hour each morning, i also try and do supersets later on in the day, (about 6-630pm) for about 10 minutes, just to get extra burn going....
    is that too much? is doing the supersets too much since im doing 6 times a week, or since im giving my bodyparts a dayresnt inbetween, is that ok?
    i was also thinking about taking wednesdays off (restday) and sunay to even out the routine, what do you guys think
    please, im trying to get nice and big, (not like an animal big) but nice and cut...

    A lot of people use a 4 day split, such as:

    Mon - Chest/Back
    Tues - Shoulders
    Wed - Off
    Thur - Biceps/Triceps
    Fri - Legs
    Sat - Off
    Sun - Off

    And do some cardio on the off days.

    I'm not saying that's a great split to go by; just an example of how some people do things. You may want to get more rest for each of those muscle groups. Maybe hitting each set of muscles twice a week with more rest between, rather than three times per week.

    I'll let someone more experienced go into detail.

    You need more rest.

    I do a four split that focuses one part per day. It works for me, and from what you said, maybe for you.

    Monday- Chest
    Tuesday- Back
    Wednesday- shoulders
    Thursday-Off
    Friday-Off
    Saturday- Legs/short but hard arm work
    Sunday-off

    Lately thou I have rotating my rest days in various parts of the week, but never taking more than 3 days total off.

    It's always in the details.

    you're most likely doing too much, but we can't be sure with the amount of info you gave us. say what you do in the workouts, exercises, sets, reps etc.

    Yeah, working certain muscle groups three times a week really seems like alot. Unless you are doing some kind of frequency training, but I can't really tell from your outline. You have to rest to get bigger.

    ok, choose one of these splits
    Monday- Chest
    Tuesday- Legs (and abs if you do them)
    Wensday- Back/Traps
    Thursday- Delts (front, side, and back)
    Friday - Biceps/Triceps
    Saturday/Sunday- off

    I don't feel like explaining why this split is one of the best

    Or you can do the traditional
    a- Chest, tricep, delts
    b- legs
    c- back, biceps

    Just you can decide how many days off you want with this. I do a, take a day off, b, then c the next day, then take another day off and start over.
