Yes, go visit these sites and read some of the articles on HIT training. According to these you're doing more then enough. So I would say give it a try, keep increasing resistance and see waht happens in 6-8 weeks.

Short on time, Am I getting enought out of my workout
Hello fella's,
I'm limited to the amount of time I have to lift weights (as I'm sure you all are also), so I've tried to come up with a workout that will allow me to lean up for the summer with minimum time in the gym.
1st - Every morning I do 20-30 minutes of Cardio as soon as I wake up.
2nd - In the afternoon I only work 1 bodypart per day.
Sunday = Chest/Abs
Monday = Back
Tuesday = Triceps/Abs
Wednesday = Biceps
Thursday = Legs/Abs
Friday = Shoulders
Saturday = Off
I do 3 sets of 12 using 4 exercises per bodypart. ex (Chest - 3 sets of 12 Bench Press, Incline Press, Decline DB presses, Decline DB flyes).
This usually limits my time to 30 minutes.
Am I doing enough/not enough?
Let me know, also, believe me my diet is pretty damn clean seeing I mostly eat chicken/tuna and oatmeal throughout the day with fruit thrown in at morning.
Thanks for all your input.

I would try and get at least two days of rest from the weights. Maybe combine bi's & tr's or chest & shoulders.

Although a half hour in the gym is ample time, you are not working your body effectively to maximize the number of times per week you hit each group. For example, generally chest, triceps, and the anterior (front)portion of your shoulders work together. Also your lats, biceps, and posterior(back) of your shoulders work together. thus if you bear this information in mind, you can effectively work more than 1 muscle group daily, and hit each group more than once a week. This is just an example there are many different ways you can utilize your bodies muscle groups that work together

30 minutes should be enough time. Just make sure that you aren't hurrying through sets/reps to finish your work-out in time. It's better to do good quality sets/reps and not finish your work-out than to rush it.
