well im not gonna jump on the overtraining bandwagon here, bc only you can decide this.

with this said, your chances of recovery will greatly increase if you say dropped 1 or 2 sets for triceps and biceps and shoulders, took thursday off and made friday your leg day as whole.

maybe, and im not expert:

monday
chest and tri's
flat bench-5x5
incline bench-10,8
fly's-10,8
TRIS
dips (chest/tris depending on how you lean) 2x8-10 then when you can do this add wegiht if you can't already
tri push down-10,8

tuesday
back and bis
deads 5x5
t-bar-2x8-10
pull ups-2x8-10
BIS
single hand cable curls-10,8,6


wedsday
shoulders and traps
millitary db press-5x5
lateral raises-10 8
db shrugs-10 8

thursday
off or light cardio

friday legs
squats-5x5
calves-5x15-25


*fuc|<. after i wrote that i realized it looked very much like the 5x5 by NS ...hmmmm :rolleyes:
 
any other suggestions i want to perfect my training routine before i start my next cycle. any suggestions would help thanks.
 
I don't know anyone who works a regular job and has a regular life who can work out five days a week balls to the wall and recover. Gear or no gear.
 
try it and let us know how it goes. you may do fine on it. give it 12 weeks. post your journal in the journal/routine section.
 
thans guys, rite now im not working im a student and work but i have the summer off so im training 4 or 5 days a week. just trying to get my training in check before i start my next cycle. thanks guys.
 
IMO you're doing too many repetitive exercises that do pretty much the same thing. For chest you do peck deck and flyes, pick one or the other. Same w/ back: seated row and T row. For traps you're doing 3 different exercises that all are pretty much the same motion! Pick one, maybe 2 at most. Legs: squats and leg press. If you drop one exercise then thats 3 sets you're dropping. You'll get done faster and probably not overtrain if you are now.

well the routine that im following is the one above should i reduce my sets or switch anything.

do it as laid out. just list the weights you moving and we'll be able to watch your progress. its the only way youll know if its gonna work or not.

list it like the other routines are listed in the jouranl section.
 
The only other comment I can make is that you need a day off somewhere in there. Remember you grow while you rest.
 
My .02

you are doing a lot of reps. It seems as though you are focusing on the rep count.

I am a fan of "less is more" for most folks.
