I was speaking to a personal trainer down at my gym and i explained to him my situation about me not getting any bigger or stronger. he told me from what he has seen from when im at the gym is that i am over training. he advised me to work out one body part a day and take 4 days off to fully recover and that helps with growing muscle.

what do you think?

If the trainer told you whats in the 1st quote - he couldn't find his own ass with both hands & a flashlight. You can still over-train doing one body part per day.
Your drive should come from within. If you don't want it bad enough - then just stop now...
BTW - some body parts you are over-training on (as far as volume goes - assuming intensity is high) and some you are not...

I agree if you are over-trained. But why take 1 step forward to only have to take 3 steps back?
I disagree if you are training properly, eating properly and resting (sleeping) appropriate amounts.

look over of what i do a week. and im usually there for between 1-2 hours a day
 
I have looked it over. The only body parts you are not over-training are your Traps & your Hamstrings...
If I can give you one piece of advice - less is more. Stop reading Muscle & Fitness. Pick one basic exercise for each body part and do three sets of 8-10 reps. High intensity with good form. If you do this, your workouts will last 30-40 minutes at most. Eat whole food protein sources till it's coming outta your ears and be ready to buy a whole new set of clothes...

i dont read any magazines i just started doing what i thought was better.
what can i do to not over train all other body parts?

do less or split them up and do less?
 
Read from the words "Muscle & Fitness" on...
 
How many body parts do you have? How many days in the week? How many days until muscle is recovered?
Think carefully, Grasshopper...
(Sorry, couldn't resist - doubt you are old enough to remember Kung-Fu the series...)
 
BTW, don't forget - your CNS also need time to recover.
Gotta go back to work - PM me & I'll see if I can help you later.
