i recently started working out again, I've been on and off for a long time and about a month ago i decided to get serious.I was 137 lbs when i started, now im at 160....you guys should know why

.Well my workout right now is pretty shitty.Basicly i do chest and tris on mondays, back and bis on tuesdays and shoulders and trap on wednesdays, and then i repeat the same thing over and over.I know i need a badass leg workout in there just dont know how to fit it in.Wish you guys(and girls) could give me some pointers and advice because i know without a good leg workout I aint going nowhere, and any other advice on the rest of my workout would really help a lot. I;m very good with criticism so shoot!!! thanks guys

Sorry to say man, you're going to need days off to allow adequate time for protein synthesis for your muscles. Your body uses the nutrients from your diet in specific ways to rebuild your body in order to restructure it to meet the demands you're placing on it. Taking a day to do legs doesn't mean your body will be able to rebuild your upper body since you're not using it. It's distributed, a lot of the best builders I've sat down with have told me how important their days off are to them, and many of them will take 3 days off a week, usually 1 day off, 2 days on, 2 days off, or something of that nature.

You should put a lot of emphasis on your leg workout, but that doesn't mean you need to sacrifice necessary rest days. For strength and size give yourself a good balance of both pushing and pulling movement exercises. I'd go into more depth but my posts are usually way too winded.

In summary, put a lot of effort into your leg workout by really pushing yourself, but do not take away your rest days, and make sure your diet is on point.

Legs are your day off? You better start training them harder if that's the case.

You don't need to be lifting more than 3-4 days per week. I see no point in lifting more frequently than that, unless you're talking active recovery type sessions or improving work capacity. Even then, the intensity on the other days would be nowhere near enough to stress the nervous system to any significant degree or lead to protein degradation in your muscle tissue for that matter. You're just starting up again though, you would need to work up to that.
