Don't over train
Try not to train everyday, your body needs time to recover from all of the fatigue and stress. If you were to train everyday your muscles wouldn't have time to repair and to grow itself. You should give your body at least 2 to 3 days a week rest period. If you were to weight train daily, you would open yourself up to injuries from fatigue. Don't risk getting injured, you would just loose all of your gains that you worked so hard to get.
