my weight training

Should I be weight training every day, working different muscle groups every day? If so, what should the program look like? Right now, I am doing my entire upper body twice a week, and lower body twice a week (different days). I know what I need to do for my diet, I just need a good and strict weight training program. help??

The training program should start with good compound movements (bench presses, overhead presses, chin ups, rows) and then gradually move on to isolation work for any muscle groups you may feel you need extra work. I like 3-5 sets per exercise, and aim for 5-8 exercises per session when doing a U/L split. -------------- Gravity hates you. Enter the Darkside.
