Advice.

I have been trying to bulk and wanted to know if this is too much for a week, and if im not giving my body enough time to rest/develop.

Monday- Chest/Triceps/Forearms
Tuesday- Back/Shoulders/Traps/Biceps
Wednesday- Legs/Little Cardio
Thursday- Chest/Triceps/Forearms
Friday- Off
Saturday- Back/Shoulders/Traps/Biceps
Sunday- Legs/Little Cardio

Should I change things up, and give myself 3 rest days and separate different muscles for a different day? or would this not be enough?

Also... is it healthy to do Abs every other day?
and is it good for my muscles if i nap an hour or two after working out

I would break it up. It all depends on how much you are training each body part on those days. If you can fully recover in 2 days from training your chest and tris then go for it. I have found that more is alwasy not the answer, but eating better, training smarter, and getting rest will help you grow. I dont do legd and cardio in the same day. Imigh walk the tred for 5 mins to get lactic acid out of them but most of the time I can barley walk straight let alone do cardio on that day. Training your bi's and tri's twice a week might be an over kill in my opinion. You will be recruiting them during back, shoulders and chest days, so to train them exclusively 2 times per week might just hinder your gains.

My best advice is find out what works for you! everybody is different and everybody responds different. I am sure there is some common ground amoungst us all but there are those who are special.

i would say its to much imo..i would split it up so ur not trainin as many muscle and also u can focus on those muscle more. i do
mon. chest/tri
tues. off
wed. legs
thurs. shoulders/traps
fri. off
sat.back/ bi's forearms
u can do abs eod thats fine. but i think doin major muscles 2 times a week is to much.

Might be to much? Its hard to tell without knowing the volume (# of sets,reps) you are doing.

also for me it would be hard to train bi's the day after forearm training.
