I would suggest looking in the real results section and reading through the articles and routines in there. There are loads of 3 days per week ones and they will give great results. Once you have decided on one, or there are some you like the look of then post them up and we can perhaps see if they are gonna be right for you, your goals and the equipment you have available.

Also dont forget that the most important thing you need to do is eat, you are probably not eating anywhere near enough. if you want some pointers ondiet too then post up what you are doing at the minute and we can look at that for you too.

Once you have a diet and routine sorted, start a workout journal/log and we can help you along the way if you want us to.

good luck

Carl.

Mark,
you've been training for four months. If you are just starting out, your body is starting to get toned up to "weightlifting". You have three days to work out so, break up your routine with two bodyparts a day: Chest and shoulders one day, arms and forearms day two; back legs day three. Warm up with stretching exercises. Begin each body-part with light weights to warm the area up. For chest-bench press, 3 sets for reps of 8-10; dumbell flys 3 sets for 8-10 reps; incline bench presses, 3 sets, 9-10 reps. Shoulders- behind the nick presses, warm up with light weight; 3 sets with 8-10 reps; front presses 3 sets with 8-10 reps; lateral raises with dumbells, 3 sets 8-10 reps.
Day 2 -- barbell curls with light weight to warm up then 3 sets, 8-10 reps ; alternate with tricep behind the neck extensions, 3 sets 8-10 reps; seated dumbvell curls 3 sets, 8-10 reps; alternate with tricep dips on bench or parellel bars, 3 sets, 8-10 reps; concentration dumbell curls, 3 sets 8-10 reps, alternate with close grip barbell presses lying down on bench, 3 sets 8-10 reps . Finally forearms, seated forarm curls with barbell, 3 sets 8-10reps; reverse curls standing with barbell, 3 sets 8-10 reps; dumbell forearm curls seated, 3 sets 8-10 reps; and reverse dumbell curls standing, 3 sets, 8-10 reps.
On the last 2-3 reps do a weight you can feel the "burn" in the muscle worked. Hope this helps gets you moving towards gains.

That's all that is needed to build an outstanding physique.
Stick to compound movements, they have the most bang for the buck!
Simplicity is the essence of life and productive training!

When first starting on the path to building strength and muscle, it is important to keep things basic. You want to use a basic strength building routine, basic progression scheme, and a basic diet. This gives you a base to build on later and there is no reason to complicate things until you have to. It also makes progress easier to track which can be very motivating.

A simple full-body routine that's done two or three days a week is powerful tool when you first get started. It's a time-tested method for building muscle and strength. There is a good section on this forum devoted to full-body routines, you should check it out and do some research. Good luck to you.
