    I would say that you are overtrainin'. Try doin' everythin' once a week, but hit it hard instead of hittin' say, chest twice a week.

    It'd be impossible to say conclusively if you're over training or not.

    If you're continually making progress why change it?

    At the most i'd toss in a rest day in there after leg day

    you could be not having enough time to recover OR you could not be lifting with full intensity. try training harder and see how u feel. if i train super hard on a leg day or a heavy back day i almost have to take two days off im so tired and fatigued...

    Narc again exact (as if there were any question). Overtraining isnt the same for everyone. If you are making progress, then you are not overtraining. Keep it up. If you find your workouts starting to get worse, chances are you are overtraining and should take some days off to recoop, then start again with a less intense program... Good luck.

    agreed

    I don't buy into the carbon copy advice i see on the boards.

    I base exercise response, both with myself and my clients, on an individual basis.
