If you're trying to gain size, then I think you need to give your muscles 4-5 days rest.

You can train upper body 2 days in a row while building or cutting. As long as your bodypart arrangement is good...for instance...monday: chest, biceps...tuesday:legs...thursday:back...friday:del ts, triceps.

oh shit! I thought he was saying
chest, biceps
legs
chest, biceps
I must not have had my glasses on!
Yeah, that is fine to do
chest, biceps
legs
back, triceps
The only thing I would not like about it is working back the day after legs, especially if you do squats.

Personally, i'd do legs then back, I'd want my back strongest for squats but really, if your doing legs then back the next day you should alternate squats and deads, do one one week and switch the next.

ac..if you can only train 3 days per week, I would suggest the following...
Day 1: chest, back, abs
Day 2: quads, hams, calves
Day 3: delts, biceps, triceps, abs
I used this split for my first few years of training. I went from 130 lbs to 200 lbs on it.
