I tried the the whole routine of going EOD to the gym, and I got good gains but my body stoped responding to this, I started hitting the 6 days a week and my body started growing again. working out each body part oncea week and legs twice a week, My legs need to catch up to my upper body.

Monday - Chest
Tuesday - Quads
Wednesday - Biceps/Triceps
Thursday - Delts/Traps
Friday - Hams/Calves
Saturday - Back
Sunday - Rest Catch up with the family and wifey.

when on, I try to listen to my body, and most of the time, I'll take a day off every 7 - 10 days.

I've never understood how you guys can lift 6 days a week and get big. If I lift six days a week I overtrain like shit. The 3 day a week 5x5 focusing on almost exclusively compound movements is the only thing that does the trick for packing weight on.

I see big huge guys at the gym all the time doing isolation exercising, never lifting even as heavy as I do, yet they are massive, I just wonder how come when I lift like them I lose weight and get weaker?

Here is what i do:

day1 Legs
day2 Chest/deltoids/calves
day3 back
day4 bi's/tri's/calves

repeat with no days off. If i do take one off it is between back and arms day.

at the risk of sounding ignorant, i was just wondering if you take no days off, when is there time for muscle recoperation and tissue repair?

i was going to do eod on this cycle, giving the body a full day of rest after each day of workout, with good rest and a clean diet. am i on the wrong path here?
