Never do your entire upper body in one workout session, let alone do that three times a week!

One major bodypart per workout session is the answer.

once again, i agree with the big man. one bodypart per week. try to hit a "large" bodypart (legs) than a small bodypart the next session (shoulders or arms) then back to a big bodypart (back)

these are VERY large muscle groups and one must rest sufficiently after training them. you should feel entirely SPENT after doing a leg session.

IMO - You should be exhausted, but not 'hurt'

I think muscle soreness is not always related to how hard you worked. If you have done the same routine for along time you don't get the same response as you once did. THis is a good indicator it's time for a change in routine or exercise. Stick with doing most body parts once per week although I do traps and calves 2xs a week and abs 2-3xs a week.

I like one body part per day, my split looks like this

Mon-chest
Tue-Back
Wed-tri
thru-bi's
fri-shoulders
sat-legs

I've tried a variety of splits over the years but always seem to come back to this one, works the best for me. Sometimes I'll take wed. off and combine tri's and bi's too.

I've tried to use 3 or 4 days splits before but I just can't do it. After I workout my chest, back, or legs I just can't put out the effort to work out my arms and shoulders.
although it usually takes me 8 days to workout all the bodyparts (depending on how I feel after the deadlifts on back days) my schedule look something like this:
mon-chest
tues-shoulder
wed-off
thurs-back
fri-biceps/triceps
saturday-legs
sunday-off

sometimes yes, most of the time no. If your brand new to weightlifting, have taken a long break and just getting back, or are on AAS yes. Any other time no. Make your goal. what's more important to you; getting bigger or getting leaner? If it's bigger try to add some good quality lean mass by eating clean then do a dieting cycle to cut up without trying not to lose all that muscle. If it's the opposite and you want to get lean now diet down then build up. I think it would be easier to do the first because having that muscle will make it easier to lean out.
