Help a 1st timer out...Please!

I've been reading about workouts & trying to figure out my best route. I plan on working out 3 times a week. I'm going to hit my triceps, biceps, back, shoulders, chest, & shoulders. My question for you is what's my best route? Should I do a total boby workout each time at the gym where I hit all of those muscles above. One set for each muscle. Or should I focus on 2 or 3 of those muscles each workout. Thanks for the help!!!

Just an FYI though, it will give you exercises for your lower body also. You can choose to have additional exercises for the upperbody, but you really need to include the lower body. Otherwise you will look like a balloon! :)
