Day 1- I work out my Entire Upper body (Shoulders, chest, biceps, triceps, abs, and back) I do 4 sets of 15 reps each time increasing the weight by 5 pounds after each set. I only do one exercise per muscle.
Day 2- I work out my Lower Body so basically all legs and im still deciding whether or not i should work out my abs on this day as well?
And then it starts all over
My question is that if i do this routine; one day upper, one day lower, then start over if im going to overtrain myself and not see results( im trying to bulk up).
Another q: I heard that when you bench you should do the regular bench, the decline bench, and the incline bench cuz if you don't you get ****** up pecs. Is this true? Because im only doing the regular bench with this routine and not the other two.
thanks in advance,

why don't you find a BOOK that gives weight lifting routines??

Why are you making up stuff, and think this is a good Idea??

The problem you may face in training every day is in giving your body enough time to restore it's glycogen reserves.
(Our body's use carbohydrate for energy, which is stored as glycogen in the muscles and liver)

When muscles are completely depleted of glycogen after prolonged exercise, it may take 48 hours or more to replenish again.
Heavy training sessions such as speedwork, weight training, hill running or competition would take much longer to restore the normal level of glycogen.

A diet rich in carbohydrate will help to ensure glycogen repletion between training sessions.

Variety in training is important so that you have glycogen depletion interspersed with days where glycogen stores are not so heavily taxed.

A rest day is important - resist the temptation to train every day. With no activity, little glycogen is used and the free time can be devoted to preparing plenty of carbohydrate rich foods for the next few days.

Refuelling should start as soon as possible after the training session preferably within the first 30 minutes. This is particularly important when training most days or twice a day.

that routine will work, make sure to add in some high and low intensity forms of cardio.

the various angles of benching don't change the muscles that are worked just the pattern of recruitment of the muscle fibers. for strength any of them will do but for maximize stimulation of muscle tissue it's always best to hit a muscle from a variety of angles.

Take it slow, your body will then tell you when enough is enough! Keep up the motivation!
