For the past month or so, I have stepped up my gym time to about 6-7 days a week, with about 1-1.5 hours each time. I have been reading about overtraining, but can anyone comment on this?

You are overtraining...if you are trying to gain
muscle mass, you are hindering your progress alot.
plus your testosterone is most likely dropping below
normal levels because of all the training.
Rest days are crucial...

WHAtt!!!!

6 or 7 days a week is much too much. you need rest because your muscles grow in the period you that you rest, and if you don't give your muscles time to rest you will get prblems.
i know because i've had to stop for a year because of overtraining, i woke up one morning and i couldn't walk for a month i felt like an 90 year old
