I saw this good full body workout in the body building section here at Fitness. Full body workouts sound great, but wouldn't they just lead to overtraining?

2-3 is sub-sufficient. 3 hours? Man i do full-body in just around an hour. Aim for around 4 full bodyworkouts a week. Read Chad Waterbury on www.t-nation.com. Really depends on what your goals are. Mine are to gain as much muscle as possible and train my muscles as much as possible without going overboard. You need to keep in mind a couple things that you need to vary movements and vary rep schemes. Make sure your workouts are based around compound movements. I like to do a compound move then one isolation to combat fatigue with 60 seconds between pairings.
 
Full body workouts do not take 3 hours, at all. They are an excellent way to go, checkout High Frequency Training, google it I guess...or something.

hah i was joking . goshhh
 
I wouldn't be surprised if it came close. When I do upper body I spend at least 90 minutes in the gym. I don't train my legs as seriously, but it still takes me 45 minutes or so, with abs included it could take another hour. So yea, I'd say minimum 2 hours, max 3 hours.
