I personally believe 5-6 days a weeks is too much unless getting ready for a show. For size I never do more than 2-3 days a week of Iron (2-3 reps and/or 8-10 reps) unless using gear. That being said u do need to shake up your routine (i do every 6 months)"GYM + JUICE"Comment

I was doing the same thing for years and hit a wall. 5 or 6 days a week is overkill if you wanna build muscle. Add more rest, and DIET DIET DIET! Your diet is the most important thing especially if you're like me and just joined the 30yr old club. 1.5 grams of "quality" protein per lb of body weight minimum. 2600 to 3400 calories per day of "clean" food. Protein, greens, whole grains, a little fruit and a buttload of water. I lift 4 days a week, do cardio about 3 times a week (at 170 it doesnt sound like you need much cardio though), and abs at least everyother day. i'm not in the gym more than 4 days per week. Get good sleep and lay off the booze and you should get some great results.Comment

IMO its all about recovery. Theres a chemical in our body called ATP which is a energy provider for metabolic reactions and over all gerenal energy for workouts and daily routines. If you workout friday and then saturday (regardless if its upper body one day and lower body the next) the ATP that should be going to the fridays broken down muscles is going to fuel the saturdays workout. Therefore leaving your muscle group from friday broken down. If your still sore thats means you still have lactic acid in your blood. Lactic acid appears in our body when we have a lack of oxygen (working out too much). Thats why people blood dope. I workout every other day even on a cycle. Hope this helps.Muscles are made in the kitchen, not in the gym. Eat big to get big.Comment

The stresses of Excessive exercise have a Catabolic effect on the body—contractile proteins within muscles are consumed for energy, carbohydrates and fats are similarly consumed and connective tissues are stressed and can form micro-tears."GYM + JUICE"Comment

I would ease up on the training fella... When I first started out I also thought more training would make me bigger... Turns out I was wrong.. Less is more in this matter.
I would try to limit the workout to just 1 muscle.. Hit it hard and heavy and only once per week!!! I'm running a healthy cycle and I wouldn't dare to train a muscle twice a week... I would listen to all this advice and sleep on it...Trust us... Hope I helped a little...Comment

If u are still fairly new to this then 1 would stick to training body parts 1 time per week. I find it all to be individual though as well. About a year ago I had been lifting body parts once per week then started to plateau. I then mixed it up and did a routine of body parts twice per week, with a heavy, lower volume day, followed by a higher volume hypertrophy day later in the week for the same body parts... I made some incredible gains following this, but I do not recommend it for every one, because everyone's recovery times and adaptations to training are different. Sometimes it takes a little tweaking and finding what is right for u!Comment
