Kakaroto are you following a ft program or your own. I would also consider working out 4 times a week. Becasue remember you do your growing outside the gym and overtraining can do you more harm then good.
What are you trying to atain aswell? Mass? Cut?
the programs to follow here at ft are great, check them out, also complete your profile so we can get to know more about you.

Yeah, it sounds like you're overtraining, and I don't see any mention of any ab exercises, those are important too.

Hey skinnyrobin, I wasn't goint to reply to your question because I'm not quite sure if I'll have the right answer, but hopefully if I am extremely wrong, someone will chime in and correct me.
I don't think you're overtraining. I think it's probably okay as a total body workout, but as you get stronger, maybe you should try the mass FT program.

Yeah that should be an error. All you have to do is go to exercise resources, muscle targeting, biceps, and select a different exercise that works the same muscle.
