How much is too much?

Lovelyone Posts: 3 Joined: 2002/03/31	2002/04/29, 07:48 AM Hello everyone, I've been training each bodypart once a week. I'd like to train my legs twice a week. I'd also like to train my back and my arms twice a week. Am I over doing it? For my legs I perform 5 sets of 12 reps with the leg extension, hamstring curl,leg press,abbductor and adductor machines. For my back I perform 5 sets of 10 reps on the seated row back extensions and the wide grip pulldown. For my arms I've been doing 4 or 5 sets of 10 reps for biceps and triceps. I also do cardio at least 4 times a week and I work my abdominals each day I do cardio. Any and all suggestions are appreciated. Thank you

If not you probably just need to change up what your doing a little.. or you could sign up for ft's special thigh's and glutes program... If all that is said and done and your still not getting sore you could probably go twice a week.. as long as you give yourself a couple days after the first workout for the muscle to fully recover... but i'm not totally sure.. I try to not go more than once a week on any muscle group because sometimes it feels like its back to 100% but then I start to work it and realize its not really...
