working 3 body parts

[No One Knows]

Im gonna start this week trying the ol Push/Legs/Pull setup...

My question is this:

I've never worked 3 body parts in the same workout so I was wondering how many excercises I should do for each part.

I don't wanna be in the gym longer that an hour..but I find that it almost takes me that long to do 2 parts let alone 3.

When I did push/legs/pull, I did 3 main exercises each day. So for push, I'd do a db press, an overhead press, and dips, for example, and then finish up with a few flyes, lateral raises, or pressdowns. For pull I'd do rack pulls, a pullup variation, a row variatoin, , and finish with some shrugs or curls, and for legs I'd do a quad dominant exercise like front squats, a PC dominant one like RDLs, and something inbetween like lunges, and then do a bit of isolation or calf work. All in all, each workout took about an hour, with about 5 work sets for each main exercise and then 2 or 3 for an isolation movement each day. This worked really well for me, both strength and size wise.

Personally I would keep the exercises to a minimum. Choose the best lift for your body for each muscle group and stick with it. Also I would stick to compound movements, maybe throw in some aux. work if you feel you can handle it. Read up on the HIT training method to get an understanding of this style of training. It isn't push/pull but it has the same philosophy of limited exercises.
