Welcome to our discussion forum.
Now you have a decent weight for your height. Good job...
Onto your question - training muscle groups / week
see you train to grow. And you stimulate your muscles in workout. YOu
should workout next time(for same muscle) not only after it recovers
but after little extra time so that it builds its cells a little bigger
(overcompensation). This happens if your nutrition is proper.
Nutrition, workout and rest go hand in hand for your overall fitness.
So the best bet would be to listen to your body and see if you are
able to lift better than previous workout. If not - then you need an
extra day rest before training that muscle group next time...
Regarding the workout given by your trainer - We are here just typing
text but your trainer is the one who checks you out regularly... And
we cannot comment on this untill we know how your schedule this.. Cos
you seem to workout all muscles in just three workouts...
I would rather split some of thest workouts considering your
regularity and time constraint to the gym
