You should be doing it 3-5 days a week. Do not combine two large muscle groups in one day. Here are examples for splits. 3 Day Week: Mon- chest, tris, calves Wed- back, bis, shoulders Fri- thighs 4 Day Week: Mon- chest, calves Tue- back, tris Thur- thighs Fri- shoulders, bis 5 Day Week: Mon- chest Tue- back Wed- thighs Thur- shoulders Fri- arms -------------- *..::: Life is too short so kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly! :::..*
