What do you guys recommend?

I've been training for 2 mo. but feel like I'm getting nowhere. I think I'm probably over training. I'm working out six days a week, and and the end of my work outs I'm putting up pathetic weight. What are some suggestions on some work out scheduels? I'm 25/m 6'2 170# and 8% BF and I'm eating good, high protien, and high carbs(because my metabolism is through the freaking roof). I also run for 20 min. 4 time a week
 
sounds like me before i really got serious about amateur-amateur-amateur (did I mention amateur?) bodybuilding. now my diet's much more structured, and my workouts are scheduled and my routines are created in such a way that i feel i can get excellent gains if i keep 'em up for the remaining... eight weeks of my bulking cycle.

6'2 and 170, I'd pack on the muscle if I were you, by eating tons and giving your body some proper rest between workouts. I used to train on an upper body 3x/wk, lower 3x/wk split (using low sets) while eating little and didn't gain much, besides building a somewhat respectable tone.

now i'm following the 5x5 routine brought to my attention by needsize, that big guy in the black trunks. in combo with my diet, i hope to gain an equal amount of strength and mass. so far so good.

but still, you're only at two months - building an ideal body takes time. i've given myself three years so far, and within the next three i hope to hit my goal - 225 lbs at 10% BF. so really don't get discouraged at 2 mos - just realize that whatever you're doing now is good for you and your body in some way, and routinely working out and eating right will help establish those practices as a part of you to carry you on for the rest of your life.
 
I would say you're definitely training way too often, I've been at it over 10 years and find that I'm overtraining if I hit the gym more than 4 times per week
 
So other than the link that CrimsonKing posted what suggestions do you have......# of day to workout, muscel groups to workout on what days, specific exercises, reps, sets

Seriously bro .. I think everyone is saying the same thing.. You are working out way too much.. pull it back to 3-4 times a week at a max with a max duration of 1 hr per session.

As far as exercises, focus on compound movements that will build you all around and make your core strong. Movements like - SQUAT, DEADLIFTS, BENCH, PRESS. I'd say if you did only these exercises in a rep range of 8-10 for 4 sets per exercise that would be perfrect and you would grow like a weed for at least a year on that.

Outside of that if you really want to get smart on trechniques. Look up the Westside training stuff. However, you need to do alot more reading and understanding before going into that one.
 
Sounds like I'm WAY WAY WAY overtraining then......here's what I did last night
4 sets each of
flat bench
incline bench
flat flies
incline files
tricep pulldowns
tricep extensions
military press

from what I've been reading on here all day I thikn I should just limit myself to to bench and flies?
 
YOU DON'T GROW IN THE GYM!

RATHER...

YOU GROW OUTSIDE OF IT WHEN YOU RECOVER!

One to the great advantages you have as a newbie is that it takes less stimulius to get the desird results. And yes, too much stimulius will do the opposite and make you smaller!
