you are overtraining

[hugegunns]

If you are truly a beginner then I think it is ok for a little while, you will see your greatest gains your first few months of working out. You could be very sore from this, and if you are then listen to your body. I wouldn't advise this type of workout for a long period of time maybe 8 weeks, start looking at other workouts now, remember to keep your muscles guessing. Good luck.

Overtraining indeed. ub/lb or HST would be better options. Rember that rest is very important. You dont grow in the gym.

Btw movinf this thread to the training section

[dieseld]

your chest and shoulder workouts are too close together imo...those workout are too closley related

[dieseld]

for a beginner it should be somewhat less training maybe similar to this

1 week

day 1
chest and tris

day 2
legs

day 3
shoulders

day 4
back and bis

and when yo gain some experience increase your workouts per week...just mo

[goker]

you are training a lot

[miniduck]

Wow, I really don't like how that looks at all. Try upper/lower body, hst, or if you want a full split, something like this:

Monday: Chest, tri's
Tuesday: Back, bi's
Wednesday:Off
Thursday: Legs, calves
Friday: Shoulders, traps, abs
Saturday: Off
Sunday: Off

So, I'm sure you're wondering what was wrong with your's. Well, think about the muscles you are using on your first day (back and chest). The main chest excercise for most people is the bench press, which uses your triceps and shoulders. For your back, you are using your biceps quite a bit (pulldowns, bent rows, etc.) With your current workout, I don't think you would be getting enough rest time for yourself unless you're on roids, are very experienced, do very few sets, or don't use enough intensity.

I hope this helped you. Good luck!

Well, I basicly have nothing to do but eat and workout... haha! I'm still going to school and this is my summer break so my whole day is basicly focused on training. For the first week or so my body hurt but after that I haven't felt a thing after I workout. I've been working out for about 2 months now! How's this workout...

What do you think of this workout??? Thanks to all who replyed for your insight!

Personally I still think as a beginner (or not) you'd make better gains focussing on doing full body routines (or upper/lower) as has been suggested. and just training every other day so you'll get more frequency on the muscles. Have a look at the "Split training - all wrong" sticky at the top of the section and see if that gives you any ideas.
Remember, frequency (which you evidentally have the time for) and compound movements are key to gaining good quality mass in the quickest time. Make sure you get your rest though!

more is not better...and arms before back is silly. I feel that most people spend way too much time on arms as it is, giving them their own day is too much IMO.

Spend your day focussing on eating and resting and spend 3 days a week in the gym to start.

You feel chest is more important than your legs/back/arms/cardio for what reason?
