I workout 5 days a week, usually Sun, Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri. Basically push, pull, legs then upper and lower.
I want to shake things up and was thinking about doing every other day, eg Sun, Tues, Thurs just compound stuff, squats, bench, BO Rows, press. Then the other 2 days some isolation exercises.
Question is, will that 48 hour period be enough for recovery?
Second question, anyone got a decent workout like this?
Cheers

I've trained the same stuff from 1-7x a week. (technically 1x14x doing doubles)
Worry less about how often.
Concern your self More about balancing recovery with frequency. And not blowing your training load.
Currently on 3x full body tue/thu/sat with optional pseudo-gpp on Sunday for anything I had to cut short.Coaching is science, problem solving, experience and ART!

You don't need to be fully recovered between sessions of the same muscle, if anything doing so would detract from most programming.
You do need to balance overall stress with recovery so that week to week you can put in a solid amount of work and continue doing so for however long your block lasts without issues.
Obviously you can adjust on the fly as well where life stress varies and impacts days, which it almost always will for most of us.5 day full body crew
