Ok so my plan is to hit all my muscle groups twice a week

Think this is to much? Or should I make gains ?

Monday- chest triceps
Tuesday-back biceps
Wednesday-legs shoulders abs
Thursday off
Friday-chest triceps
Saturtday-back biceps
Sunday-legs shoulder abs

I may actually do abs on whatever days I feel like it. Maybe not on every leg day. Also going to hit traps with shoulders and or back

So do u guys think this is overtraining ? I'm just trying to get to the next level and make new gains ? Think this will work ?

Plan Is to workout 3 days in a row and hit every muscle group.
Then rest on the fourth day. Then start over.

its not overtraining

How many sets u doing for chest ? Triceps ? And shoulders ?

To get the total workout for under a hour?

minimum 6 sets for each (2 movements, 3 sets per movement). sometimes 9 depending on how i feel.

chest exercises hit shoulders and tris aswell so u dont need to go crazy with volume since ur hitting 2x/week anyway

Alright thanks buddy only reason I was asking is because sometimes I hit chest hard like 4 movements and 4 sets per movement. So usually around 16 sets total for chest. But that was before this new schedule of course. I've been doing a pyramid chart on flat bench and it is 6 movements alone lol

Your body will tell you if it's too much.

/Edit: if you are just beginning then don't take a plan over 4 days/week. Gradually increase from there but allow your body to make necessary physiological changes before you increase weekly volume. Not doing so is a surefire way towards failing via burn out.

Naw, I used to do L/P/P Rest L/PP.

Dropped to 5 days a week now due to work. L/P/P (All strength) Rest. Lower , Upper .Rest. The Lower and Upper being more hypertrophy focused, little more variation in exercises to keep life interesting.

No wonder you don’t grow lol

Honestly didn't think it was a dumb question. I do a lot of reading about fitness and I've read that rest is just as important as lifting.

So that's why I was asking honestly. Like bench every 5 days may be bad for shoulders in the long run and risk injury eventually.

Or what about deadlifts ? Honestly I dont plan on doing them twice a week. Dont want to risk injury for lower back. I'll do them every other back workout. And tbar rows for lower back the next time



That is pretty much what I have been doing around 5 days a week

Not beginning been lifting year and 8 months or so now. Yeah buddy I will definitely listen to my body dont want to increase my chance on risking injury that's for sure
