Answer 1

Depends how heavy the thing you are lifting is, if it’s a one rep max weight 50x a day, it makes no difference when you lift, if you are lifting something a lot lighter, your muscles will never reach fatigue if you spaced out the 50x squats over the course of a day, so this would not be as beneficial as doing all 50x at once.

A lot of variables of course, do you want bigger muscles, more defined muscles, stronger muscles, better cardio etc.
