I'm not sure if i'm overtraing or not. I've been lifting for 6 months and i'm 20 years old. My training schedule goes like this:
Monday
Chest/tris
Tue.
Back/bis
Wed.-off
Thur.
shoulders/forearms
Fri
Legs
Sat/Sun-off
As far as muscle soreness goes it usually doesn't last more than 3 days per body part. I do 4 sets for every exercise and don't over do it when i'm in the gym. I live in the dorms at college so i get sick alot and lately about the last week and a half my neck is sore and i've been getting headaches a little not much, i can't tell if i'm getting sick or overtraining. Would maybe taking a week off do the trick?
