      Do I over-train? Here's a simple layout of my workout over a week. (I give myself 48 hours rest between the same muscle group)

      Monday - Biceps, forearms, lats, abs
      Tuesday - Triceps, chest, shoulders
      Wednesday - Biceps, forearms, lats, abs
      Thursday - Triceps, chest, shoulders
      Friday - Biceps, forearms, lats, abs
      Saturday - Triceps, chest, shoulders
      Sunday - Legs in general

      I know it looks VERY top heavy but i find working out like this is better for me. I do not ache when repeating the same muscle groups and after every session, I increase the weight. I do high weights and low reps. I eat very healthy and sleep well. I have been following this for around 3 weeks and i'm seeing slight results in triceps, lats and forearms.
      Thanks for your time

      Over training?

      I'm gonna be flat out honest, that is THE WORST routine I've ever seen.
      Care to explain why you workout your arms 3 times a week and your legs once?
      Also, why are you training 7 days a week?
      And what makes you think you're over training?
      And when do you work your back? There's more then one muscle in the back, ya know...
      Please answer this honestly so I can help you properly.

      Over training?

      all this, and: after a few weeks training 7 times a week your CNS wont let you train anymore, you'll get tired, demotivated and your lifts go down. Trust me, that's personal experience (yes, i was dumb, but motivated in the beginning too)

      You should allow 2 days of rest for your bigger muscle groups ( biceps, triceps, chest, back ) while small muscle groups like your abs you could work everyday. I would find a better split that is accustomed to your wants. I personally do

      Mon: Chest/Tri's
      Tues: Back/Bi's/Forearms
      Wed: Shoulders/Legs
      Thurs: -Start Over-
      (with abs every day)

      This allows 2 days of rest per muscle group and works well for me.

      This is my exact workout 100%
      the only difference is somedays I will give back and legs seperate days. I thought I was the only person to have this routine and not take off days

      Biceps three times a week? No..get on a premade routine, don't pride yourself with making your own. You're overtraining your arms so badly...

      Train legs 2x a week aswell.
      Have atleast 1-2 rest days.

      Also you are not overtrianing, I don't think you understand the term overtrianing and what being in an overtrained state is.
