    If I can say anything really quickly is that you're taking on too much too soon after a year from training. You'll end up burnt out and exhausted from 6 days training twice a day which will eventually 'p' you off. Especially if your a veggie and not getting huge protein amounts, this means your recovery time will be prolonged.

    Hi dead meat first of all as jon has already said i think you are doing too much too soon at least have 2-3 days in every 7 rest until you get back used to things you don't want to burn yourself out,from looking at your program you have a lot of isolation exercises in there i would suggest you base your program around compond lifts e.g.bench press,military press,chin ups,pull ups for upper body.Is there a reason you don't do any leg exercises i would suggest you don't ignore them you need to be doing some squats deadlifts and lunges for your lower body.......

    Hi Guys. I want to avoid workin my legs. As there getting a bit of a pounding from the running

    If you are doing a fair bit of running ehich I suspect you are from your 'pounding' comment then you really should be doing lower body work, especially squats. If done right (deep etc...) they'll strengthen your legs and protect your knees from the pounding.
