As long as you eat and sleep well enough for it, it shouldn't be a problem

lol. you'll give it up in less than a month

You're not supposed to workout the same muscles more than 3 times a week retard that doesn't mean you can only go to the gym 3 times a week, unless you do full body workouts every time you go.

>1/1
Just try and do anything at all for more than a month then come ask questions.

It depends on intensity. A good rule of thumb is to give each muscle group 72 hours of rest/recovery before working it again.

I'd advise to just train 3 times a week at first.
Get used to it.
Still feel like doing more after sticking to it for 6-8 weeks? Great add one or 2 more training days. Just dont burn yourself out, so tired of people going ham for 3-5 weeks and then dropping out completely.
Its better to train 2 times a week for a year than 5 times a week for 2 months

Do whatever you want op. You're gonna quit in 3 weeks anyways

>>39863460
its incredibly unlikely you're going to train more than three days a week for the rest of your life

pick an attainable goal and stick with it
consistency is key

to actually answer your question, yes you can do cardio or whatever on your non-gym days, just pay attention to your body, there is risk of overtraining if you go overboard

you better mean 48 m8

You shouldn't work out a MUSCLE GROUP more than three times a week. 3-6 times a week are all acceptable depending on how you split up your exercises.

Also running is not working your legs in the strength training sense, but you should still separate running from working legs by at least putting them on separate days, ideally with a day in between.

and always do cardio after lifting, not before, unless you have time to rest a whole lot, like cardio in the morning and lifting in the evening.
