I personally find this workout regimen most fitting for my body; not taxing it too much while at the same time, letting DOMS recover (muscle recovery, or whatever you want to call it) sufficiently enough to begin my next workout session ..
Monday: Chest, Shoulders, Abs
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: Back, Lats, Legs
Thursday: Off
Friday: Chest, Arms, Shoulders, Abs
Saturday: Off
Sunday: Off
I substitute more legs & calves for less body workout, every other week ..
Or I might do 2 Back, Lats, Legs sessions and 1 Chest, Arms, Shoulders during that week
Hope this helps

there is no set time frame for recovery, there are tons of factors at play.
Think of working out as adding water to a sink, your recovery is the drain. The more you eat/sleep/rest the faster the water drains. Just because there is water in the sink doesn't mean you can't have a solid workout. To completely empty your sink (fully recover) could take 1-2 weeks of less intense lifting, like a taper for a competition. But when we are training to get stronger we push hard workouts for 3-6 weeks before deloading, yes you feel tired/beat up but that doesn't mean you rest for a week to feel better.
in short, it depends
