    Would you consider this overtraining...

    My info: Male, 22 years old, 165 pounds, 10-15 bf??, healthy

    My goals: Get low enough bf to show abs and gain muscle (I am aware that it will be slow process hence trying to keep low bf)

    My routine:

    Monday - Back/Tri
    --Back
    Barbell bent-over row: 3x8, 95 pounds
    High row (machine): 3x8, xx pounds
    Seated cable row: 3x8, xx pounds

    --Tri
    Overhead dumbell extension: 3x8, 45 pounds
    Barbell close grip bench press: 3x8, 75 pounds


    Tuesday - Cardio
    45 min


    Wednesday - Chest/Bi
    --Chest (had a mild shoulder injury, i take it easy)
    Barbell incline bench: 3x10, 105 pounds
    Seated fly (machine): xx pounds
    Push ups: 3 sets till failure

    --Bi
    Dumbbell curl: 2x10, 30 pounds
    Barbell curl: 2x8, 55 pounds
    abs


    Thursday - Cardio
    45 min


    Friday - Shoulders/Traps
    -- Shoulders
    Barbell press (no machine, on the rack): 3x8, 105 pounds
    Lateral raise (dumbbell): 3x10, 20 pounds
    Seated rear laterall press (machine): xx pounds

    -- Traps
    Dumbbell shrug: 3x10, 55 pound dumbells


    Saturday - Cardio
    45 mins (sometimes i miss this)


    Sunday - Legs
    Barbell squats: 3x8, 135 pounds
    Legpress: 3x8, 270

    Standing calf press: 4x8, xx pounds
    abs


    My question: Would it be better for me to stop working out my tri on monday and bi on wednesday?? I used to to bi with back and tri with chest before but I switched it after 6 weeks.

    Please, feel free critique

    Thanks in advance.

    Push

    i'd suggest that u better do what foreman told u wich is push / pull / legs or upper/lower... but if you like to deal with body parts

    do this chest+front delts+triceps/back+reardelts+biceps+traps/legs

    or u could do
    chest+back/legs/shoulders+arms
    chest+quads/back+hams/shoulders+arms
    or chest/back/legs/shoulder+arms
    or chest+shoulders/legs/back+arms

    and also u'll benefit a lot from reading the stickies in the training forum.. there they are....

    I think its safe to say that body part routines arent particularly good compared to other protocols.

    But yeah, like assassin said...read the stickies.
