I'm by no means an expert, but you're stretching yourself thin. 3-4 days a week of good, old fashioned hard lifting should be enough. You are correct in that you have almost no rest time. But what you should ask yourself is, are you making progress? If so, I wouldn't be too concerned with it. As long as you're not starting to feel actual pain in your muscles (not the "burn", or soreness, but actual pain), I think you would be all right.
 
My suggestion is, if you're trying to get bigger muscles right now and not concerned with losing fat, stop the cardio day, do a muscle group once a week, and put some light cardio at the end of a day where your workout is not as intense. For example, I have a day where I lift biceps and abs. Not a good combo, but i'm working on my schedule. So, on those days I try to run at the end.
 
This is just what I do. I hope for others to chime in.

Thanks for Sharing the infos... well i've been doing this for a bit more than a month now and i actully got bigger on my Lat and Shoulders even biceps...but im not sure if this is going to continu because apparenty you get this biginning grwoth and it just stops to grow soo fast im not sure aobut this .. anyway.
 
well i really want to get a 6pak as well that's why i do abit of cardio... i think i need to change my routine.. something is going to buff up my Lat, Shoulder, Back and Chest... Triceps and Biceps im not soo worried about them because i think my arms are quit big enough for me size ( im short ) . so any suggestion for the routine ? or anyone else have any suggestion ?
