Myself.... I do a 4 day splitI've been lifting with my friend going about 6 days a week on average. Should i be resting more? I've been trying to gain weight and i just seem to be losing it =[

depends on how thoroughly you wanna work that particular body part. it also depends on your lifestyle, your diet and your goals. myself, i lift intensely on a five day consecutive split.once a week doesnt feel like enough. how many exercisies should i be doing per a body part. I want to be sore after a workout =]
If you can do another set 1 minute after your last set, Your intensity is lacking. You need at least 2 minutes between heavy sets for your CNS to recover enough to put enough intensity into the next set.i try to minimize time between sets and usually keep it around a minute... it doesnt seem like id be in the gym very long if i cut down to only 3-4 exercises
a typical back day for me would be:
bent BB row
wide grip lat pulldown
low row
close grip lat pulldown
one arm DB row
deadlifts or good-mornings
row machine burnouts (after 3 sets)
usually go with 3 sets... 10, 8, 6 reps
seems like i've been overtraining when i compare to your workouts... guess i should cut back a bit and see how that goes

and btw, my split has been:
shoulders, traps
legs
chest
upper/lower back
bi's, tri's, forearms
off
how long do you guys usually spend in the gym? and does it really still give as good of results? its just hard to get through my head that training less will give good results
off
6 days a week?!? Wow, i would say yes, rest more. Allot more. Lol. Time off, sleep, general rest time and calories are very important for recovery. This is even more important if your trying to build muscle. Your body needs time time off to recoop, heal and repair muscle fiber tentents that are ripped during workout.I've been lifting with my friend going about 6 days a week on average.

All of his back exercises are compound movements. All rows and pullups or pulldowns use multiple joints and muscle groups.I would definitely switch up your back workouts. No way deadlifts should be towards the end of a workout. I'd say DL, BB rows, then some of the other isolation stuff. I would never sacrifice hitting compound movements for isolation work.
