upper body everyday?
- Thread starter happy01

Not everyday... it depends on your workout. You have to do lower body too I'm sure you realise. If you're doing FBWs then you do upper body every lifting day. Or maybe you do push pull split, in which case you do upper body (but different muscle groups) maybe in consecutive days.
But I'm sure you dont' want to lift upper body everyday because your body needs time to rest in order to grow. You especially don't want to do bench press and curls everyday if that's what you were thinking.
This is a broad question, and it'd be easier to help if you posted your routine.

first off, your routine sucks.
second off, you cannot lift weights everyday and hope to get bigger.
so this is what you do.
do a search, using hte search bar at the top and search "fullbody" and you will find tons of threads on people looking for good routines.
then, read around this site and learn. check into the nutrition section. you have to eat well to get gains.

Agree with protein boy. Your routine sucks, where is the leg stuff? If you want to get a good book for weight lifting, get THe New Rules of Lifting
Your body doesn't grow and develop in the gym, this all happens while you're letting your muscles rest.
As for the rest of the routine, I'm 100% behind the others. It's really unbalanced, and unsophisticated. Say, for example, those are the ONLY activities you can do, the order is still way off. But if you have the equipment to do a proper workout, then search through here and take some pointers on FBW, or upper/lower split.
For upper body you need pushups, pullups, bent over row, overhead press, deadlifts (which some will argue is a lower body movement).
For lower body you need squats, split squats, lunges, etc.

heres a sample fullbody workout
(with all respect) it is far superiour to your workout. you will make much more progress with this. remember nutrition is 90% of whether you pass or fail
workout A
squat variation
horizontal push variation(bench)
horizontal pull variation(bent over rows)
any upper body isolation movement(optional)
rotator cuff work(cuban press)
workout B
deadlift variation
vertical push(military press/chinups/pullups)
vertical pull(chinups/pullups)
lower body iso(optional)
rotator cuff work
never do the same workout twice in a row; you must alternate them. you must train on non consecutive days, 3 days a week.

Have a look at this:
The 3-day-per-week, full-body workout plan by Chad Waterbury
One of my friends has started doing this and he has seen good progress. I personally tried it a while ago and it didn't feel right for me. If you are looking for a program that is there in front of you to begin with then try this for now.
