Default Re: Routine - overtrain??

over the past 3 years my workouts have consisted off-
20 rep rest pause deads from shin height(i have a big back problem)
military press 3x6
chins5x6
calves 3x8ish

4 days later
20 rep rest pause squats...
incline bench 3x6
dips 6x5
calves or grip work

thats it.
i`m now doing deads hip belt squats calves on one day
then 2-3 days later weighted chins3x8
weighted chins3x6
military press 3x12ish
bicep curls 3x10 with chest expanders(i have a forearm prob that precludes the use of proper weights)
its working out at 3 workouts every 8 days but i`m still fine tuning.
over training =lack of appetite-too much too little sleep-no energy...

lil vid of my deads lol(i`m a youtube whore)YouTube - reps 20 and 21 at 200kg

my point is that you should find out if you can grow better on training less times a week rather than simply assuming you gain better on such a hi frequency of training.
