    i dont really understand how youve laid this out

    you have 27 sets down for chest
    presumably this would be seperated into 3 workouts?

    its not clear

    ive heard that arnie trained each body part 3x week but that would be too much for me and most people

    once every 5 days is the most frequent i can get away with

    otherwise its just once a week

    Don't even read what Arnold did. He had superior genetics, diet, and training in general. These days that kind of high volume training is frowned upon and it has been proven it is not necessary. High intensity/low volume routines have proven to be best for the average individual.
