Answer 1

Where are exercises for your lower body and back? Your legs are the biggest muscles in your body. If you would take the time to train them and develop them, you would get better results with your workout. Also, your back will help you develop and better upper body physique. It will give you your "V-shape." Also, if you ignore your back and train everything else, you will more likely develop back problems later on.

Also, why train your chest with 16 sets two times a week? Unless you are taking steroids or are using light weights, I would say that you are not giving your chest muscles ample time to recuperate.

I would suggest keeping your routine as is, but scaling back to doing each only one time per week. With the extra two days, build a leg and back routine.

Answer 2

over training occurs over an extended period of time when the CNS is not allowed to recover fully from high intensity exercise. high intensity with resistance training is when you are using loads around 80% of the 1RM.

where is the training for back and legs? they are the 2 biggest body parts

Answer 3
