So I just wanted to post my weekly routine and ask if im doing to much? Less is more, but I'm trying to get it where that certain area im working is getting worked from every direction. Also I sort of wanted to try and throw in something to my workout, for a non main body part that can be worked twice a week. I know on cycle you can work body parts more, but I see many people just throw in extra bicep curls/triceps extension etc on another day since those seem to be worked twice a week with people.

My rep range for most exercises is 6-8 reps, but some exercises go up to the 15 rep range. Am I training to much, to less, hitting areas to close together, can I throw in another body part to hit during one of the training days, for instance bicep curl on shoulder day. Rest days are Wednesday, Sat,Sunday
 
Looks good to me and imo you can throw some more arms in on shoulder day if you would like. Over training is actually more difficult than most people think, especially while on. Assuming you're eating enough and getting a good amount of sleep
 
Well I've been feeling sore the past week, mostly in my legs though. But sleep is good, calories seem to be good.
 
Looks fine from my experience. We are all different though.

But in 8 years of lifting on and off I have discovered without a doubt every 6-8 weeks my body locks down. Its not a muscle thing, its a CNS thing I can just feel the need for long recuperation. A week of nothing but eating and hibernation then I come back with a noticeable increase in strength and energy, as well as drive.

But I am a smaller built etco-endo kind of guy.
