Yes it seems extensive and i do have the time to do it all but im starting to think its not worth it...i do this everyother day and i do my lower body on the days i don't like along with cardio. I do eat pretty good and take protein supplements for some help. Im just not sure if this is a correct routine for me. Any help is appreciated
