    What bob is tryin to say is ALL WE DO is eat sleep and train...i'm talking 12 hours of sleep if we need it...we know that 5 days a week is what should be done...but we are on Juice (which doesn't make a HUGE difference but def helps) and we sleep as long as we want...squeezing in that extra day would be nice...and i know its "better to under train than overtrain" but i'm never sore for more than a day and i do work out intensly...i just dont feel like i'm doing enough but i'm just gonna do 5 days a week any how

    The way I gauge overtraining is I have to add weight or reps to each exercise every day I do it. If I can't make the increase, I back off sets or number of exercises. Sometimes you might even have to back off number of days. I got some small magnetic weights,so I can even add a pound at a time, if that is all the increase I can do. As long as you can increase, you are not overtraining.

    Damn MBaraso, your routine is almost exactly like mine. Mine looks like this:

    Mon:Chest/tris
    Tue:Back/bis
    Wed:Legs/calves
    Thu:Shoulders/Traps
    Fri:Bis/Tris
    Sat:Cardio
    Sun:Off

    I add:
    Abs: 1 on, 1 off, 1 on, 2 off
    Calves: 2x week
    Forearms:every Friday and EO Tues
    Cardio:2x week at 20 mins(bulking)

    My routine used to only be 5 days but since starting this cycle, I CAN'T take two days completly off. I just have too much energy. I had to throw in cardio on Sat

    Training a bodypart more than once every 7-9 days is overtraining, IMO.
