Just starting

Me and my friend want to sart going to the gym.

With university and all we only have 3 days to train( Muscle training that is)

What would be a good 3 day cycle for two guys who have not been going to the gym in a while?? I would say we are out of shape.

Separate it into an Upper body day, a core day, and a lower body day. That's how I started and I saw huge gains for the first few months, then I up'd to a more conventional cycle.

Here is a pretty comprehensive workout database. You should find something that works well for you here. Remember to remain consistent with whichever approach you choose. Don't give up just because you don't see any results in a week! Be patient.

I say muscle pumps got the right idea. I'd exercise all the big muscle groups over the three days, doing heavy compound excercises first. Do Chest one day, Back the other and then Legs on the third day. That should get you on your way to seeing gains. If you don't fancy that, try lowering the intensity of the larger muscle groups and then do smaller muscle groups after, e.g. Chest then Biceps etc. As the Royal one said, be patient and you'll soon see your results. Good Luck.
