            I'd say #2... your muscles need rest

              would that work out okay?
              no best workout would be alternate on days...

              example:

              monday wed fri = arms(bicepts.tricepts) bench(if u do bench)
              tues thurs and sat(if u workout weekends) - legs and abs

              sunday off...use to be my schedule..now i just do arms and abs...a shitload of abs for me..love my ripped stomach

                I definately agree - this way you can concentrate on one body part and work it up - another thing you may want to do is seperate your excercise so you do push excercises one day and then pull excercises another. That way you get optimal rest time inbetween.

                ie.

                Do chest - triceps on one day and then back and biceps the next day - that way the major muscle groups get a good rest.

                  You are supposed to break it down into upper and lower body and have one full day of rest per week. Muscle is actually built by tearing your muscles..these muscles require time to heal/build.

                  So what you do is:

                  Mon - Wed - Fri - Upper body
                  Tue - Thurs - Sat - Lower body

                  As long as you NEVER work the same muscle group 2 days in a row you will build muscle.

                      When you first start working out, a lot of it is trial and error. What may work well for someone else may not work for you.

                      Back/shoulders on one day seems like a lot. I'd split it up so you have chest/tris and back/bi's

                      Also, get rid of the abs day and do abs every day. And start off each work out with a 10 min warmup.
