Help with a new workout routine

[RebelMan]

I was just talking to someone and they said that my current workout is overtraining. Right now I workout five days a week and run 3-4 days a week. Everyday I workout a different body part, but supposively that is still over training my body.

I was wonderin if that is true and if it is, I was going to start working out 3 days and week and running 3 days a week. If I start this workout I was wondering what body parts I should work each day, and how many sets to do with each body part. Any info. would be helpful. Thanks

3 day a week
chest, tris
back, bis
legs, shoulders

your only training one body part a week now, so thats not really grounds for over training (if your trying to cut up)

"The most common symptom is fatigue. This may limit workouts and may be present at rest. The athlete may also become moody, easily irritated, have altered sleep patterns, become depressed, or lose the competitive desire and enthusiasm for the sport. Some will report decreased appetite and weight loss. Physical symptoms include persistent muscular soreness, increased frequency of viral illnesses, and increased incidence of injuries. "

if your seeing results w/ your current program , your happy w/ what you are doing and your not experiencing the symptoms of overtraining , id ask the ppl who told you your overtraining what qualifacations they have to suggest that to you.

bro i have been asked and have stated my workout numerous times but i love to so i will do it again

i was training 4-5 days a week and stuck at 220 area so i dropped to 3 days a week and changed my training to a workout based on bench/squat/deads with body building training incorperated around them and i now weigh 244 and am bigger than ever before

so yes it is easy to over train---unless you dont work,have no family,eat all day and are jacked

my routine which only changes slightly

Monday ---CHEST/SHOULDERS/TRI
FLAT BENCH---10-12 total sets counting warm ups with reps of approx.16,16,12,10,8,6,3 at 3-5 and sometimes two drop sets at 8 then 12 reps
chest done
TRIS
Floor press---3 sets or heavy movement
Push downs---5-6 sets
tris done
Shoulders
2 sets each side,front,rear db raises
day 1 done


Wednesday---BACK/TRAPS/BI S
Back
Deads or partial deads--uaually 8-10 set with same scheme as bench
Pull downs 3-4 sets
Traps
Shrugs---bar or db 4-6 sets as many as can
Biceps 6 sets of curls
day 2 done

Friday---LEGS
Squats ---same rep and set scheme as bench and deads
Leg press---1 x per month with squats and 1 x per month instead of squats
Leg curls---3 sets 10 rep range


this is basically what i do and it got me big--and with your running you will stay lean
