    Training ONE muscle group per week is kids type programs! Concentrate on compound workouts and 3-4 days in the gym will suffice. When you do back you are already incorperating bi's, when you do chest you are hitting tri's follow up with a leg and shoulder day and watch you muscles grow. Rest is essential to growth!

    I don't know exactly what you're trying to say here, but if you think your particular approach to training is the only one for a serious adult BB, and working one muscle group once per week is for kids, then you should do some reading and see all the professional bdybuilders who advocate this same approach. I've tried just about every split you can think of, and working each muscle group once per week (but working it HARD) has gotten me the best results.
    Anyways, since you seem confident enough to completely write off an entire (very popular) approach to training, I would like to hear some supporting arguments for why you think this type of training is "kids type program," and why your method is so much better.

    For the OP, if you only have three days for BB, I agree with the poster who advised an upper/lower body split. But you definitely have to add a wider variety of exercises. Perhaps someone with more experience with this type of training regimen can chime in with a detailed training plan, including the exercises you should focus on each day. You will certainly need to add more chest, tricep, bicep, shoulder exercises, but how you divide it up over those three days is best left to someone with experience in this method of training.

    Peace

    If you give me a little time I will find the info on compound exercises that basicly explaines how there is no need to do individual days for small muscles like the biceps and triceps. To devote an entire day in the gym for arms just seems like a waste of a day. As I stated above, these muscles are incorperated already during the coumpound movements. I do feel it necessary to concentrate onthem specifically during that day ie: Back and bi's I would finish with some specific bicep work like hammers, concetrations, pretty boys or whatever.

    When it comes to workout routines there are soooo many available and at the end of the day as long as you are eating right, resting enough and putting in time with a quality routine it will yield results.

    If you would like to go through this with a red pen and check for grammer, punctuation and spelling then by all means feel free. I do tend to use teenage short hand since I am often times driving and typing on my laptop at the same time.
