    How many days rest do you take?

    I currently WO Mon-Thurs. Off Fri-Sun. due to work.

    I currently do
    Mon chest/tris
    tues legs/shoulders
    wed back/bis
    Thurs chest/tris again, doing different lifts than Monday. I do aprox 4 excercises per group 12,12,10

    Is that enough time between Mon-Thursday to recover or should I

    Mon chest
    Tues Legs/shoulders
    Wed Tris
    Thurs back/bis

    Doing the same amount of reps but adding a couple more lifts more like
    Mon do 6-7 for chest or would that be overtraining?
    If it is important to you,
    You will find a way.

    If not you will find an excuse.

    2 days: Wednesday and Saturday.

    If you're progressing, than your routine is sufficient. If not, then rest may be an issue, but don't forget to rule out other things. It's just as easy to undertrain, as to overtrain.
    Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.

    I do a full body workout, with around 48 hours rest between each one, so my off days vary each week...

    2 days off a week (one of these days is light cardio) I don't have a fixed week so those days off could be any day of the week. I always take a day off after legs however.
