Well anon, athletes train every. single. day.
You really don't need to rest as often as people say you do, in fact I'd argue that rest is the last thing someone just getting into lifting needs.
When I was in highschool and actually in shape, we had a thing called hell week, every year coming back from summer vacation, after school for 2-3 hours we would work out until we were on the edge of death.
We'd grab a plate, go outside to the track, and do calisthenics with it. After that we would hold the plate above our heads and run/jog/walk/crawl a mile (the only requirement was keep it above and off your head otherwise we all had to do it over again). After that mile we would take a short break, then run bleachers.
That was our 'warmup'. After that we'd go inside to the gym and lift weights followed by an hour in the gym learning how to wrestle.
Now the question is why? Well, it's easy, our bodies weren't operating at their peak, you need a shock like that to get your body to start repairing muscle like crazy, it just makes your gains that much better bro, and all the cardio will zap fat off your body. I normally would lose 20-30lbs in that week alone.
Just lift bro, lift when you're tired, lift when you're sore, get a shitload of protein and eat very few calories. Lift until you can't lift anymore and then do one more, and make sure you get some cardio in too gotta get them heart gains.
