IMO forget about your chest and biceps for now, they are only small muscle groups.

Concentrate on bigger muscle groups like your legs and back, your chest and bis will never get bigger if you just keep doing isolation movements all the time.

Your are definitley overtraining....bring the weights up and the reps/sets down, its intensity we are striving for. Your diet must also be spot on to make ANY progress. What is it like?

Read that you shouldn't train arms if they are less than 13'' in diameter but should stick to compounds instead.

AS for the rest, what they said

Personely I think you should train in the following manner as you`ve only been training 6 months

Monday/Thrursday upperbody
Tuesday/Friday lower body
No abs to be done whatso ever

All exercises to be done for 3 sets of 8 reps(except calves 20 reps & hamstrings 15 reps)

Concentrate on one exercise per bodypart per workout then the following workout in the week use a different exercise.

Keep your form tight and make sure to feel each muscle your working as you do each exercise and squeeze/contract each muscle at the top of each movement.

No forced/drop/super or tri sets just plain straight sets with 30-45 secs rest between sets.

just a quick 1 everybody would ou recomend any cardio on the days off, to ell u the truth i do very little apart from the 5 a side footie and a warm up before training.

read somewhere that the cardio if your not carefull can eat into your muscle tissue destroying all the hard work u have done,

can the 2 be mixed ?

or should i just stick to what i am doing

regards

This is definately the right way to go IMO as you have only been training a short time, do this sort of routine for atleast 8 weeks, better for 12.

There would be no harm in doing 1 or 2 cardio sessions (personally I would do one steady cardio session (20 - 30 mins) and one session of sprint type intervals [sprints / rows - like 50m / 100m] with good rest between the bursts) IMO Its more involved, but trying to keep it simple
