Glad to hear you're hooked!

The key is to listen to your body.. it is possible to train everyday.. but you must design your program to allow for at least 48hours rest for each major muscle group.

If you are trying to gain size or bulk.. then 5 days is the maximum for effective gains.

You just keep changing muscle groups and you'll be able to work out 5 days a week.
As Arnold says, 5 days are plenty for weight gain.
