    Cardio -
    I am doing 20-30 mins after work out and 45-1 hour on Sat and Sun.


    So am I over training? That is one of my fears I have. Also I am currently trying to cut. I train for about 1.5 hours then cardio. I know I need more cardio. But my wife crawls up my taint when I am gone for more than 2 hours.. Any thoughts? Cut back sets? cut back on exercises? That amount of cardio going to get it done?

    Thanks in advance for your advice and support!

    you probably don't need to do both wide grip and flys, I'd pick one
    Close Grip Smith - 3 sets
    Skull Crushers -3 sets
    Vbar Push Downs - 3 sets

    Pull ups - 4 sets
    Partial Deads - 4 Sets
    Vhandle Barbell row -4 sets (Barbell end in corner weights on one end. Close grip)
    Reverse Grip Rows - 4 sets
    I'd also cut a set off of each of the rows
    Straight Barbell Curls - 3 sets
    Single Arm Dumbbell preacher - 3 sets
    Cross body hammer curls - 3 sets

    Wed - Legs
    Squats - 4 sets

    Pec dec rear fly - 4 sets
    Front dumbell raises - 4 sets
    Military press machine - 3 sets with drops for burn out
    I'd do military press with dumbbells because its easier on the shoulder
    Barbell shrugs - 3 sets
    Upright Rows - 3 sets
    also for the upright row I prefer the ez bar because of elbow and shoulder comfort too
    Friday - Arms
    I do arms 2 times per week because they are lagging. Almost caught up.

    If your strength is remaining or improving you probably aren't overtraining, but keep close tabs on your joint health. Overuse injury is FAR more common than overtraining.

    Max,
    You are right sir. Last year I had to get 2 MRI's done. I ended up with Tendonosis in my wrist and a tear in my delt. Getting better though.. Wrist still hurts when doing arms. Thanks for your input!
