    Total Body Workout or Individual Body Parts?

    I'm only able to go to the gym 3 times a week for an hour each time.

    For a 3 times a week workout, would you say it would be better to do Option #1 that I listed below, Option #2, or any other recommendations?

    Oprion #1
    Chest & Triceps 1st day
    Shoulders & legs 2nd day
    Back & Biceps 3rd day

    or

    Option #2
    Do 1 excercise for each body part of the body parts listed above each day for the 3 days a week that I attend the gym?

    Thanks!

    At 3 days a week you should try out allpro's beginner routine. It's full body. Make sure you get rest, because working out each major muscle 3 times a week is pretty demanding. Surprisingly less workouts is more activity on the majors.
