If you do that schedule, well, just check out the link to the photo of your future results.



A sponge with huge arms.

You need to be working all of the muscles of your body, not just the arms. You have a body not a collection of individual parts. Since you want to lift 3 days a week, try something like this:

Day 1 - legs/arms
Day 2 - cardio
Day 3 - rest
Day 4 - shoulders/back
Day 5 - cardio
Day 6 - rest
Day 7 - chest/abs

This may not be the most optimum way to do it, but it is better than only doing arms 3 days a week and not doing the rest of the body - and it fits with your cardio/rest schedule.

For legs do something like squats/stiff leg deadlifts/calf raises. Arms you could do bb curls/skull crushers/db curls/tricep pushdowns

For shoulders there are things like seated bb shoulder press/seated db press/shrugs/upright row. For the back there is the deadlift/bent over row/pullups (or lat pulldowns if you can't do pullups yet).

For the chest there is the flat bench press/incline bench press/decline bench press/dips. Abs there are floor crunches/decline crunches/seated cable crunches/kneeling cable crunches/variations of the crunch with weights on your chest or behind the head. Don't forget the ab-roller type exercises either.

Pick a two or three for each body part. Do 2-4 sets of 4-6 reps, 6-8 reps, 8-10 reps, 10-12 reps...whatever you prefer and do them on the appropriate day.

Have fun and make some progress.

Well now, that's totally different. Looks like a lot of work packed into one day...but lots of people do full body workouts each time in the gym...so give it a fair shot and see how it turns out for you. You seem to be including enough rest days. Just make sure you don't overdo it. Doing multiple muscle groups, you may have to experiment to find the right sets/reps scheme to work best for your body.

i think you'd be better served to split the legs off from the chest - they're both highly demanding groups. otherwise, shuffle the exercise order each time - one tricep day do chest first, the next do legs first.
