There are still other factors too. How long have you been lifting, how often are you going right now? How's your diet and your sleep? I know it may sound dumb but diet, rest, and training will greatly effect how much you can train. Another big factor is if your on gear and your age and on top of that you will have to listen to your body, it will tell you if your overtraining. I currently hit every body part once a week, I lift heavy and intense so I go 1 on and 1 off. When I take gear I kick it up to 2on 1 off and hit everybody part once every 5 days. The main thing is listen to your body.

The question is way too broad. There are so many different things to consider. Everyone is different... and everyone AND their brother has a different opinion.

My advice... try different approaches, until you find one that works best for you. Ultimatley that is what you will end up doing anyway.

2 years lifting, 210 5'11 16 percent, cutting with cals around 2,200. 20 min pwo cardio and 40 min am cardio.

Current Split

Monday: Chest 12 sets Bis 6 sets
Tuesday: Legs 15 sets
Wednesday: Back 13 sets Tris 6 sets
Thursday: Shoulders 12 sets Traps 6 sets
Friday: Biceps 6 sets Triceps 6 sets, supersets for each, abs
Saturday:Rest
Sunday: Rest

-Reps are mostly in the 8-12 range with my compound squats, deads, bench usually being 4 sets of 8 and the supplementing workouts 3-4 sets of 12 with 60 seconds rest.

- The way my split works is every muscle that I seem to hit gets 48 hours rest before it gets hit again impartially through secondary excercises that hit it. I.E Chest monday, Thursday Shoulder - Biceps monday, Biceps again with back on wednesday.

- Workout usually takes me 40-50 minutes with the cardio following it.

So the question is, do you think im overtraining.
