Am I overtraining? (Newbie)

[-Jaybird-]

Thanks, the BF percentage was a guess but I looked at some pictures of other members and it made me think I guessed too high. I had it done at my gym and I came back at 18%, I don't look fat I'm just not cut up. I still think you're right though, I'm going to shoot for 12% and start bulking up using the revised 2nd split. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

You're welcome Jaybird. Keep working hard and you'll reach all your goals.

What you have :

Mon: Chest/Bis
Tues: Shoulders/Tris
Weds: Off
Thurs: Back/Traps
Friday: Legs/Abs
Sat: Cheat Day
Sun: Off

Try a better split to help hit the bigger muscles harder.
Mon chest
Tues back
Wed: off
Thur shoulders
fri arms
sat: legs/abs
sun Off


This way you can pound each muscle 100% and not just "get through" the second. This setup also gives a decent recovery time for each muscle.

I agree. This is a good split DSM4Life.
