alright heres the deal i got one week left at this shitty gym by my parents house then i go bak to mine.. i was wondering if this routine was gonna be alright.. keep in mind i grew great off of a high volume (40-50 sets) workout...
mon - chest
5x5or6 flat bench
3x7 incline db press
3x7 incline flyes
2x5 flat dbell press
tues- back
5x5 bent over rows
3x10 bb shrugs(to the front and behind)
3x8 lat pulldown
3x6 cable row
1x8 deadlift
wed- legs
5x5 squats
3x12 leg presses (with calf pressses following it)
3x8 ham raise
3x8 leg extension
2x6 calf raise
thurs- rest or shoulders
5x5 military press
3x8 side laterals
3x12 rear delt machine
1 drop set of side lat at end
fri- arms
5x5 babell curls
3x8 preacher
3x6 seated alternate
2x12 hammer
5x5 rope pushdowns or close grip bench
3x8 one arm reverse grip pushdown
3x 6 kick back
2x12 skullcrusher

each 5x5 exercise will be done every week, however the other exercises will be traded for other ones each week in a 3 session interval(every workout will repeat after 3 weeks and there will be 3 total routines..)

my question is is this overtraining or will a five day split be to much for my body to handle...but keep in mind my diet is going from 60grams of protein a day(bagel in the morning, protein bar for lunch,or no lunch and a light chicken dinner) to a great lifting diet
7am 4-5 eggs raw..
730am workout
10 am protein bar
1230 pm chicen ceasear sald
3 pm protein bar
6 pm chicken breast, tuna, meatballs, or steak
10 pm whey protein shake...
 
you are over training. By the sounds of it you are just a beginner. If I were you I would stick to the basics and follow more of a powerlifting routine. Benches, Rows, Deads, Squats, Overhead presses. You are using far too much volume and I have a hard time believing many people can recover quick enough for a program like that.


BTW, I wouldn't be eating your eggs raw in the am unless you want to end up getting sick one day. You may also want to eat more protein from food other than whey shakes and protein bars. You also need more complex carbs and good fats.

Basically, you need to revamp your diet as well as your workout.
 
ive never been good at the diet part, but training is good that workout is down from 40-50 sets for every body part..and that made me blow up in size but i want my strength to go up now maybe ill microwave the eggs it just takes so long to cook them
how about 5x5 for the mass builder basic moves and 2sets of 8 for 2-3 other exercises?
