Not sure but IMO looks like over training unless you´re juicing. Our muscles grow when the body is resting, too much training and the muscle doesn´t get time to recover.

Thanks Stumpy. Could I add Sunday to the end of Friday for an extra day off? Or do you think its just too much volume all together?

What about sticking to a 3 or 4 day split? It´d be good to train muscles that are working in relation to each other eg. when you bench press you´re primarily training your chest but secondary muscles that are used in this excersise are your triceps and delts and to a lesser extent your back. IMO it´s better to train a couple of related body parts each time you visit the gym giving you rest time in between gym visits. All your body needs to grow is food, correct training methods and rest.

It doesnt seem like I am really gaining much with my current split. Steadily loosing BF gaining great definition which isnt a bad thing. But Id like to gain a little size. Strength is increasing fairly steadily also, but I just keep loosing weight... I like the focus on strength and size on different day of this new routine.

It could be that your training isn´t the problem. Why not post up your diet and let us take a look at it.

Supplements aside, what is your average food that you eat. What meats, carb foods, etc. and how often?

I am with Stumpy, I think you go back to the spilt workout and with out a doubt incrtease the calories and protien. If your training that hard and no taking in enough protien and calories the you musle'e will start breaking them self down for the need protien there not getting... Could be the cause of your current problem?
Post up you meals and supp and anything else you might be adding and we'll give our opinion!
