THANKS IN ADVANCE:help::help::help:
 
you will always put on size if you train hard, but it all depends on your routine imo if i did 3 parts a day i would be exhausted in strength an stamina by the end which will have an effect.
Everyone's different but i like
mon: back,bis
tues:chest, tris
wed: shoulders,traps
thurs:legs
fri:back, bis
sat:chest,tri
i do legs once a week reason is they take so long to recover..
 
I think you're definately doing way to much in one day. Also your chest workout is all dumbells, looks good but barbell is good too maybe switch it up each week. You're getting your full body workout done in 3 days, no need to repeat again. I would take your routine and spread it out 5 or 6 days. I personally do 1 muscle group per day. On chest back and leg day, I never add another muscle group being they're the largest groups, only thing I mix is bi and tri workout. You could to tri workout after chest or bi after back. Just remember your muscles need plenty of rest to grow so hitting the same group twice a week is too much IMO.
 
Yes you are overtraining

Your training everything twice a week to try and gain mass.
Slow it down a little without compromising your intensity.
Don't miss meals or rest. Keep a lot of variety in your workouts.

If it's working for you keep going.

Your body has a natural way of telling you if your over training or not, it's called motivation. if not as motivated to goto the gym then your over training.

personally with that much training, i'd recommend you incorporate more rest days. just because their are 7 days in a week, doesn't mean you have to work on a 7day routinue
