Over training?

Dustin216 Posts: 27 Joined: 2005/09/22	2005/09/23, 11:14 PM Just wondering what you people that been bodybuilding for years think. I workout 5 days a week monday i work chest 4 sets of incline DB's 8-10 reps, 4 sets of flat bench either DB's or BarB 8-10 reps, 4 sets of either dips or decline bench 8-10 reps, then i usually do 4 sets of flies on incline bench 8-10 reps then 4 sets of 8-10 reps machine flies or crossovers. and every other body part i workout atleast 20-24 sets 8-10 reps.I use weight as heavy as i can with good form. My chest is getting harder and stronger but seems slow in getting thicker and bulking.all other body seems to be growing faster. 5'8 180lbs 24 yr taking in about 2200 2500 calories a day 160grams of protein been working out strong for 6 months. i know im prolly not taking in enough calories been hard cause i cut out alot of fatty foods. Any suggestions would be appreciated. sorry for long awful post

I don't bodybuild (its unnatural, stay away from the darkside), but I do know that that is unneccerary... There is no need for so many total reps, -------------- Your two most important minerals: Iron and Chalk. If you smoke or don’t wear your seatbelt, please don’t tell me the deadlift is dangerous.
