i'm not a pro but i think you may be over exerting yourself a bit. if you are sore pretty much everyday then i would consider taking a days rest every other day.

my2 cents.

Here's my detailed workout schedule:

Monday: Upper Body (Biceps, Triceps, Chest, Shoulders, Back)
Tuesday: Lower Body (Legs, Abs)
Wednesday: Upper Body (Biceps, Triceps, Chest, Shoulders, Back)
Thursday: Lower Body (Legs, Abs)
Friday: Upper Body (Biceps, Triceps, Chest, Shoulders, Back)

For Upper Body:
Biceps - 20lb Dumbbell bicep curls. 20 reps 3 sets.
Triceps - 20lb Overhead dumbbell extensions. 20 reps 3 sets.
Chest - Push up. 20 reps 3 sets.
Shoulders - 20lb dumbbells. 20 reps 3 sets.
Back - Pull up bar. 3 reps 3 sets.

For Lower Body:
Legs - Squats with 20lb dumbbells.
Abs - Resistance machine sit ups.

I'm working out each muscle group every other day, not the same next day. But I'm still sore even though I'm resting in between days. Like I read in the book, never train a muscle group that's still sore from the last workout. Does that apply to my workout schedule? Am I over training?

My goal is to get strong and buff but not to over train at the same time. Just want to know if my workout schedule is ok to do without over training.
