No growth! HELP!

Ok ive posted a few times and got some good info. ive been working out frequently for about 2 months, taking in as much food as i can stomach, protein pre/post workout, creatine as well. Ive been drinking a couple gallons of water a day, and my diet is loaded with protein(fish, turkey, red meat) good carbs(wheat bread, pastas, etc) and healthy fats. I workout 5-6 times a week hitting 2 groups each go (ie chest/bicep monday, back/abs tuesday, tris/shoulders wednesday then repeat).
So from what ive heard im doing everything right, getting water, protein, calories, and getting in good workouts. and i know its not magic and im not gunna be totally ripped overnight....
but its been 2 months and nothing. in fact i think i might be loosing muscle, its getting harder to curl the same 30lbs ive been doing for weeks. What Is Going On Here!
Someone help me, please!

Over training?

I'd say cut the week in half, do what you do but do it just once:

Mon: Chest Bicep
Tue: Back/Abs
Wed: Rest
Thur: Tris/Shoulders
Fri/Sat/Sun: Rest

Or:

Mon: Chest Bicep
Tue:Rest
Wed: Back/Abs
Thur:Rest
Fri:Tris/Shoulders
Sat/Sun:Rest

you might be over training, like mentioned by TS. how long have you been doing the same routine. i common mistake i made in the past was, i would changes things up too much and at times not enough. i personally believe that 60 days on a routine is enough, then time for a change. one other things that i do when the same 30lbs. seems heavier is, (and you might hate to hear this) but take a week off or 5 days, something like that, it's deconditioning your muscles. i try and do this about 4 to 6 times a year. the problem with deconditioning for me is the mental part, "i am getting weaker", "i am getting fatter", and my favorite "MAN, i got a lot of time on my hands, WTF am i gonna do now".

Add legs in on one of those days as well, and deadlifts on leg days, they are fundamental for growth!! I used to skip legs long ago, but now I hit them (not heavy I like to play basketball) but still heavy squats are great for gaining size. Deadlifts will work you out too lol.

I do legs every day, i switch off between squats, and deads. Ive only been on this workout for 2 weeks.
If i cut down on the wrokouts, will i still get growth and good results? cause ittl feel like less workouts = less progress

It may feel like less workouts = less progress, but remember, you grow out of the gym not in it. Rest is very important. Its a marathon not a sprint. Even the Pros rest.

EDIT: Yes, you will continue to develop if you cut your split back some, you may even develop better since the body has time to repair its self
