Not terribly, just be sure you have eaten a good healthy meal, about 1-1.5 hours beforehand, so you don't put any muscle reserves at risk of Catabolism.

full body 3 times a week is a far better option for you right now

well i go to the length of straining muscle to the absolute limit so maybe full body workouts may not be a good choice

go to this

day 1 - lower heavy
day 2 - upper moderate
day 3 - off
day 4 - lower moderate
day 5 - off
day 6 - upper heavy
day 7 - off

repeat

you don't need 5 days of wt training, i only do 4 days at most
