workout plans

[joel]

hey my name is joel im new to this site im from wellington, iv been working out for about 7 months now trying to get bigger/stronger. What im doing at the moment is working for me but i wanna know if im able to step it up a bit, heres some stats and my workout plan atm:

age - 20 almost 21

height - 5'8

weight - 72, started at 67, want to be at 80 without much bf

training - 7-8 months

so yea goals are to build muscle/weight to get to 80kg with out much body fat, my diet is very good and im on a few supplements, and i workout 6 times a week, heres my workout plan at the moment:

monday - chest, tries

tuesday - back and bies

wednesday - cardio, abs, light legs

thursday - shoulders

friday - biceps, tries and forearms

saturday - cardio

sunday - legs

Now what i wanna know is if there is much point changing it to twice a day lifting as i would be able to work out that muscle harder such as just chest in the morning then just tries at night...

this is what i was thinking:

monday - chest am, tries pm

tuesday - back am, bies pm

wednesday - cardio am, cardio + abs pm

thursday - legs am, shoulders pm

friday - bies and tries am, light chest pm

saturday - cardio and abs

sunday - rest

or is that too much, i am a mechanic so i have busy days so im a bit worried my body may not recover enough....

let me know what you think, thanks

too much!

less is more! its not just a case of training or lifting every day, you need rest to grow.

just stick with a 3 or 4 day split and do all the compounds. i do the following

mon- chest,bis

tues-legs,bit on forearms

wed off

thurs back,tris

fri shoulders,core

sat,sun off
