When I was lifting weights, going 6 days a week worked best for me. But I would make sure to only exercise two muscle groups at a time.

This works out so each muscle group has a full 7 days to rest. And the whole body gets Sunday off.

The results were pretty good too, I reached my peak healthy BMI within a few months (24.9) then just kept getting stronger without gaining much weight.

Bench pressing 1.5x and "squatting" ~2x your body weight is fun. It's really hard to explain just how fun to people who haven't been there.
