You've propably just decreased your recovery abilities by using Test at your age.
You should be able to train each bodypart twice a week (3-4 days rest for each part) at this age.
Get some ZMA, it might help you get kickin' again, and try to use some steriod that'll actually increase your hormone levels, or supplement them, I mean, man, you have LOADS of Test in your body.
When you are on steriods what you should really aim to change is the amount of calories you are eating and either VOLUME or INTENSITY of your workouts.
See, the key to success is to be able to maximize the efficiency of what you are doing, not just pouring resources into something that will only give you a slight increase in muscle mass. Thus, training for 2-3 hours 6 times a week is plainly stupid unless you are getting paid for it, and you'll end up depressed, and then you'll get fat and than you'll have some real problems.

and you may take this as a flame. You dont even know enough about your own body that you dont know how often you should work out without roids but yet you use them. You are one of those kids who wants to get instant results. Sorry but you arent a true lifter and no matter how big you would get on gear you never will be because there was much less discipline than those who got to their maximum potential without gear then started to use gear those people can be respected. You young lad cannot.

Abbaddon has a very good point. I know that's not what you want to hear but it makes perfect sense.
As for your question, even on steroids, training EVERY day is not advantageous. You can never put enough emphasis on proper rest and recovery. Just cuz you can handle a higher volume while on means nothing if you do so much you can't recover from it. Maximize your gains, take rest days. Even when i'm on, I'll still take at least 2 days/wk for total rest.
When you're coming off, you should definitely reduce your volume. I wouldn't train more than 4days/wk if I were you.
