    My question is if I am overtraining or doing to much and if I should try a different split?

    Currently:
    Mon - Chest/Bi
    Tues - Leg/Shoulder
    Wednesday - Back/tri
    Thursday - Rest
    Friday: Chest/Bi
    Sat - Leg/Shoulder
    Sunday - Back/tri

    Stats:
    Ht: 6
    Wt: 170
    Max Bench: 260
    Max Squat: 365
    Max DL: 315

    Basically I am hitting each muscle group twice a week. I do a consistent 4 workouts per muscle group so usually 8 in total and do abs every other day or ~2-3 times a week.

    Reason I am unsure about my workout plan is because for the past couple months I have been stuck at the same weight and cannot seem to break the barrier.
    You are training ur muscles twice a week! It takes around 72hrs for you muscle to b completely recovered! (depending on diet and how u lift etc)
    Are your workouts any different? Or do u lift the same for both days in the week? I.e same exercises, sets and reps for chest on mon, and Friday? I don't like the split personally if u are going heavy for both days, but if your doing a power/hypertrophy split or something like this, then it's perfectly fine

    Workouts are pretty similar... Same excercises same reps/sets

    So I guess I should probably switch something now.

    I have been lifting very hard. I am always exhausted after lifting (usually 1 hr 30 min for everything). Go home immediate protein shake. Have a pretty good diet right now.

    I have been lifting like this for 6 months now and don't really ever stay sore. I mean I might feel it the day after, but not usually and it doesn't last.

    Should I definitely switch up my routine?
