Back to school, need some help with workout?!

[Eminem]

Due to the fact that i am going back to university, I loose a lot of time for my other daily plans. I workout at 5: 30 am when goin to school and class starts at 8:00 so that leave me little time to workout so i was thinking of training a bodypart a day to cut down workout times, I currently am on a 3 day split. I really have no other time to workout but at this time. Should i risk the little recovery time 5 days provide ?

How long are your normal workouts on the 3-day?

 

[Eminem]

3 days a week basically just over an hour, but to get my eating and showering and ready for school it leaves it real tight for time

Hard to say bro. Seems to me it would make more sense to stick to three days and get there at 5am. The benefits of that would be one, no sacrifice of recovery time and two, you'd save yourself two trips to the gym per week.

What about weekends?
