daily upper body weightlifting?
What is a good upper body weightlifting routine that I could do daily to gain muscle without leaving a day for rest in between? How can I split upper body exercises in 2 halves so that I let the rest of the upper body rest in between?
Background: I would like to do a weightlifting daily workout session over holidays (2 weeks) on a well-equipped gym, so I would like to have my weightlifting sessions fit in so that I can do as much as possible. During the year, I only do maintenance weightlifting twice per week, and the rest is x-trainer and running.

This can get VERY tricky. The reason you normally rest between workout days is to give your muscles time to recover from the muscle breakdown that occurs from lifting. I have heard of people breaking upper body routines into "arms and shoulders" and "chest and back." The reason I do not prefer this method is due to the fact you still use muscles from your arms while you are doing chest and back (and vice-versa). While they are not the primary muscles being used, they are still being used (think about how much your tricep helps when you are bench pressing, or how much of the front of your shoulder you use when doing an incline press).
I think hard leg routines are one of the most missed opportunities by weight lifters. For one, you don't want to look like the Hulk on stilts. But doing squats utilizes large muscle groups in a compound way which is very beneficial for your body (not to mention tough).
