missing days?

[italianplayboy09]

my routine from a couple weeks ago consited of me going to the gym 6 days a week and looked like this...
mon-chest, tri's
tues-legs
wed-shoulders
thur-back,bi's
fri-chest, tri's
sat-off
sun-shoulders
i loved that workout b/c i was in the gym alot and its like a second home to me but now i changed my routine to this b/c i was thinking i was overtraining by what other people said about my routine and this is the new one...
mon-chest, tri's
tues-legs
wed-off
thurs-shoulders
fri-back, bi's
sat-off
sun-off
the thing is is that i feel like im not going to the gym anymore and mind you that all my workout sessions are intense and always have been, i never slack in the gym. should i go back to what i was normally doing or am i severly overtraining. help would be greatly appreciated on this

4-5 days a week seems to be ideal, going 6 days a week is overkill, unless you are on an intense cycle, but even then it seems like too much.

so what would you suggest for a 5 day split consisting of how i have my workouts?

Personally I dont like taking 2 straight days off, I consider leg day a rest day for upper body too so if you agree with me you would be training upper body only 3 days a week.

I like to go 3 days on, 1 off, 2 days on, 1 off = training 5 days a week, 2 days rest.

sample routine:

mon-back, bi's
tues-chest, tri's
wed-legs
thurs-off
fri-shoulders
sat-light workout for lagging parts ect..
sun-off

Just throwin my routine out there, maybe itll help, maybe not.....

M - Chest
T - Back
W - Tris/Bis
R - OFF
F - Shoulders
S - Legs
S - OFF

Abs are thrown in 3 days a week.

this is how i constructed my routine, i needed to have chest in twice a week b/c my chest strength has gone down ever since i dropped off to working out chest once a week. heres the new routine...
mon-chest,tri's
tues-back, bi's
wed-shoulders
thurs-off
fri-chest, tri's
sat-leggs
sun-off

Do you work chest HEAVY both days? Ive heard of people doing something like heavy chest day on monday and light on friday, but never heavy on both days. if so, you dont feel burned out?
