Is working out 3 times a week enough?
yes.3 times a week is plenty. instead of doing more you can make it more intense by slowing down the exercises you do. if you take 6 seconds to do one repetition,3secs up and 3 seconds down and don't use any momentum you will get very good results. intensity is 100% more productive than doing more. you can train faster or slower if you want but don't train more unless you just like to train more.. i work out 3x a week for 30mins and have been for yrs. and i get better results than when i was working out alot and also most people can stick with a routine that doesn't take up too much time. go to exercise demos on site below. you decide the exercise that appeal to you

How much time should you spend working arms?
OK friend here's the deal, if you're looking to increase your strength then isolating your arms only once a week is more than enough. Rember that everytime you do an upper body exercise you are also exercising your arms, every pulling motion utilises the biceps and every pushing motion utilises the triceps. True strength comes from the coordination of all of your major muscles and also from a good grounding ie strong core. So as long as you are working out the rest of your body you will be fine, I would shoot for 3 days a week if you are reaosnably new to lifting with a day off in between. I would do a full body workout using compound exercises and maybe add a couple of targeted exercise to specific muscles each day. Say do some biceps and triceps at the end of Mondays workout. Some Abs and Calf raises on Wednesday and maybe some extra cardio on Friday or something like that. Make sure that you do any extra work after your compound exercises as you want to be able to life as heavy as possible if you are serious about gaining strength. For more detailed advice I'm sorry, that'd cost ya lol.
How many times a week should you workout the abs?
the muscles of the mid-section are no different from any other muscle group(s) they need to recover from exercise. that being the case if you use weighted abdominal exercise then you want to give them the standard 48 hours between training session. if you are performing sit-ups, crunches, etc. just using body weight you can do them daily but it's not necessary. 2-3x a week is sufficient. fat too many people neglect training the lower back and focus on the abs. this creates a great muscle imbalance between these opposing muscles and is a major cause of lower lumbar injury in adults. muscles work in pairs and the only way to maintain balance between them is to exercise them both equally. the abdominal and the erector spinae are the muscles used to bend the spine forward and backward
How many times in a week should I train my chest in order for it to get bigger?
2 - 3 times per week is kind of the max, with 2 being the limit for most people. Muscle hypertrophy takes time, and overtraining the muscle you're trying to develop will do more harm than good. When I build a program, I usually rotate a focus group each week. My current program looks like this:Week 1:Monday - Chest & TricepsTuesday - LegsWednesday - Back & BicepsThursday - ShouldersSaturday - Chest & TricepsWeek 2:Monday - ShouldersTuesday - Back & BicepsWednesday - LegsThursday - Chest & TricepsSaturday - ShouldersWeek 3:Monday - Chest & TricepsTuesday - LegsWednesday - Back & BicepsThursday - ShouldersSaturday - LegsWeek 4: Monday - Chest & TricepsTuesday - LegsWednesday - Back & BicepsThursday - ShouldersSaturday - Back & BicepsThat's my 5 day, 4 week rotation that I go to when I'm focusing more on general fitness. Abdominals get done every day, along with 30 minutes cardio followed by 15 - 20 minutes of stretching, at the end of my workout. Muscle development is pretty rapid, with results being noticeable by friends, family and co-workers after a couple months. Endurance builds rapidly as well, and I usually manage to shave a few seconds off of my mile runs each rotation. If I start to get too big, I can decrease resistance and increase repetitions to shift focus. The average session is usually around 90 minutes, but can easily push to 2+ hours if I'm seeing good progression in my workouts. I usually stick to this for 3 to 8 months before changing to a 4 day program that looks something like this:Monday - Chest & TricepsTuesday - LegsWednesday - Back & BicepsThursday - Shoulders, Triceps & ChestAgain, cardio gets done every day, along with abdominals and stretching, at the end of every workout. The sessions tend to be a little shorter, but the resistance is higher as I'm usually focused on bulking out when on this program. That Thursday workout is brutal, and I usually have to hit the jacuzzi afterwards before I can even consider driving home. I'll do this for 4 - 6 weeks at a time, before going back to my other rotation.
