Working out every day with compound movements

[islandjock]

Hi, been doing Builts fully body routine and really really liking it, but I'm wondering about off-days. I've read enough stickies to know that cardio on off-days is not necessarily a great idea, as it can lead to muscle loss. But I was wondering what would be the effect of doing the full body routine each morning, instead of every second morning. What are some of the consequences of doing a fully body compound routine in the morning, say 5 days a week?

PS. I've been working my ass off, many times to failure on some sets...but I don't always feel sore the next day...does that indicate something about my workouts? I feel like my form is pretty good I've been watching a ton of vids on proper form, and really feel like I'm working the muscles I should be working each set...any help greatly appreciated

consequences are over training and slower gains, but there are more factors that affect that , going to failure is not necessarily a good idea just stop one rep before it and you will be fine and save your CNS

DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) is not an indication of an effective workout

How many reps and sets are you performing ?

I do 3 sets of 8-10 reps, sometimes on my third set I only manage to get 5-6 reps. If that happens should I be lowering the weight on the third set to get the 8 reps, or should I stick with the same weight?
