My colleagues keep telling me I am overtraining. Can any of you look at my normal workout routine and critique me?

Monday - Push
Bench Press
1 warm up set, 3 more sets each pyramiding up, then I try to do 1 or 2 reps at my max weight, then finish off with 25 reps of very very light weight to get the blood flowing.
Shoulder Press
exact same routine
Barbell Shrugs
3-4 sets pyramiding up in weight, if I do a 4th set..its usually only 3 or 4 reps at max weight
Dumbell Tricep Extensions
3 sets
Tricep Dips
3 sets followed by a 25 rep super light weight set
tricep pushdowns
3sets followed by a 25 rep super lightweight set

Tuesday - Pull
High Rows
3 sets
Low Rows
3 sets
Lat Pull Down
3 sets
Deadlifts
3 sets at 5 reps
a 4th set with one or two reps at very heavy weight
a 5th set...but its usually only one rep at max
Barbell Curls
usually 5-10 sets of assorted curls preacher/standing/cable etc...

Wednesday- Leg
Squats
Same as deadlifts
Leg Press
pyramid sets (10x8x6x4x2x1)
Either Leg Curls or Extensions
3 sets of 25
Hack Squats same as Leg Press every other week(i.e I dont replace the press I just add an extra exercise)

Thursday - Off

Friday - Push
Normally same as Monday (maybe a little lighter)

Saturday- Pull
Normally same as Tuesday (maybe a little lighter)

Then I'll take two days off and do nothing, and start over again. Every Other week Ill take 3 days off instead of two.

Now, could I cut out a set here and there? Sure, but this is working great for me. Do you think its overtraining?

Doesn't look like over training to me. Your ok.

[Ironslave]

Agreed, i think it looks good.

[USMARINE8152]

Your program looks fine tell your buddies they are retards for thinking that.

[odoyal rulez]

Thanks fellas =)

[CantGetBig]

your buddies are wusses!

[Thomas_Rivera]

That looks good to me.

[Mygeeto]

i approve of this workout

[Steamboat Bill]

Looks good to me, too. With adequate nutrition and sleep, I see NO way that should be overtraining.
On a personal note, I could never do legs the day after deadlifts -- but I know many people who can. For me, it is just too much on my hamstrings. It sounds like it is working for you, though, which is great. That way you can hit the deads and the squats/leg presses on different days for better effort.

[kenney]

it sounds fine.'overtraining' depends on your strength and capabilities

[Basso]

Looks good to me, Your ability to recover is individual! I've worked out with guys that run me into the ground and I've run some into the ground, we all react differently. I don't like the pyramid sceme, but what ever works stick with it.

Taking in enough cals and getting enough rest I see no problem
