Is that sufficient enough, or should there be a few more exercises? Anyone's input would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.

I thought maybe I was overtraining a bit so maybe at least 3 exercises would be good, but who knows. If 2 is good then that's what I will do, but I just have never done that little. So I was curious.

Am I over-doing it? I usually work out 5 days a week, training each body part each day (chest, back, legs, arms, shoulders)...is that bad?
