Loss Time between gym sessions

Agenda SG

My training days are monday, tuesday upper body. wednesday break. thursday and friday lower body.

i do concerntrate on upper body alot. so the schedules are bound to change as i like

my question is

how much hours should we allow our body to rest between the gym visits? taking that session is 1hour..

i'm asking this because i went to the gym at 6.45pm tonight. i might go again tmr morning around 9am

Why wouldn't you do a full body workout?

Actually gym wise, I only go thrice a week. Saturday I followed my fren's workout, but his workout concentrates on the "show" muscles, chest and arms and shoulders. I add in squats on saturdays.

Sunday morning I go for deadlifts, bent over rows, and lunges

However, there is almost a 24 hrs break in between.... Rest time is the time when your muscles grow and recover, not gym time.

Tues is of lighter weights because I usually go swim on Mondays, and I don't want to over exert. However, Tues will be a full body workout.

If you would like to go for 4 days, I would suggest you do finish up a full body workout on mon and tues combined, wed break, then thurs and fri combined to another full body workout.

Yeah for a beginner,they should do full body workouts 3x/week.

I am considered an intermediate liao and yet I still thrive on this kinda regime.

It is something like this

Mon-weights

squats
rows

Wed-odd object training

Fri-weights

deadlifts
push presses

actually I don't do 3x/week because my time is very limited and I like to do other activities like swimming too. :p

But if gymming is your only exercise, then ya, what Macro has said is the way to go

Each of my session lasts 50-60 mins,so how time consuming can it be?
