I actually had one of the best workouts I've ever had. I added about 10 pounds to my max bench press that day.

But four days later I'm still sore. Normally I'm sore for 2 days max.

I have been eating fine, without any change in protien or glyutimine (sp?) intake.

So, my question is - can you workout too hard
Yes, you're working out far too much.
If your sore after two days, thats too much. Soreness 24-48 hours after exercise indicates muscle tearing, which isn't what you want to do.

If it's only one time though, don't worry, just don't make a habit of it.
