Reverse Lever curls: 20 X 10 (this is the weight i will list more weights from now on.)
Concent. Bicep Curls: 12 X 30, 10 X 35
Wrist Curls: 20 X 20, 20 X 20
Shoulder Shrougs: 30 X 50, 30 X 50 (25 each hand)
Triceps Extension: 14 X 30, 20 X 40 ( I will need to up the weight for these next time obviously)

Man i am starting to see huge progress in the mirror. I took some pics except when i plug it into the usb port the program does not come up for some reason... i dunno whats wrong but i can explain the progress.

When i flex my chest my pecs go up and become more thicker on top and flatten out throughout more than before. When i puff my chest out it looks like im almost skinny with big muscles lol. Cant wait to get the pics up.

I have a question everyone... am i lifting 2 much? I am getting great gains from lifting every day but most people would consider this overtraining, but is it? I am gaining at a really good rate, maybe i needed the change up?

hey dude. if its working for you dont quit. just keep at it. if you start to feel the symtpons of overtraining, re-evaluate your split. Eventually. you will start to feel your central neverous system (CNS) start giving away. Until then, keep at it.

good job with ur gains .

Yup keep doing what you're doing until your gains slow. Keep up the good work!

Like Keto and MGT said... if you're seeing gains, there's no reason to change up the routine.

Well if you're getting good gains, that is of course, good...but remember that when you lift weights, muscle is torn and it takes time for the body to rebuild it (thus it becomes bigger).

So if you're working out every day, you won't be able to give it your "all" every day because your muscles will surely be tired and still recooperating.

My chest hurt from yesterday so i decided to take it easy again, tomarrow i will probably rest and have a badass workout for sunday.

Bicep Curls: 25 X 14 X 3
Arnold Dumbbell Press: 25 X 20 X 2
Calf Raises: 20 each leg for one legged ones, then 90 ones where i use both
Walking Lunges: 30
Squats: 20

(for squats and walking lunges i used my dumbbells)

Diet is bad right now cause i got no food (need to go shopping) and im not hungry so no post workout meal.

I havn't posted my workouts in the last few days but im still going at it... i have decided to try an actual routine once again as it seems that i'm not splitting my time very well.

1 - Legs, Biceps, Triceps
2 - Chest, Shoulders
3 - Lats, Traps, Back

Repeat 1,2,3 and rest on 7th day.

What do ya'll think about this? I dont know if i will be able to stop myself from doing biceps every day though lol.

Any comments are appreciated. Tear this routine up if you think it sucks as well.

EDIT:
1 - Legs, Biceps, Triceps
2 - Chest, Shoulders
3 - Abs, Back, Biceps, Triceps
4 - Lats, Traps

This is another choice i am thinking about... what do you guys thiunk?

I'd go with the 1st one. The second might not give your muscle enough chance to rest with too much biceps and triceps work.
