Don't forget that you really hit multiple muscle groups each time you workout. For example, if you do dips or close grip bench for triceps, your chest is getting a good workout also. Doing rows for back or bench for chest also hits shoulders. Arms pretty much get hit every day except leg day.
So what I am saying is that you really don't give as much rest to body parts in between workouts as you might imagine. So go with what's already been said, try different workouts and see how your body responds. Try a workout for a few weeks to determine the effectiveness by watching for changes in your appearance. Notice muscle soreness and how long it takes to recover from it. Keep a log so you know what exercises, number of sets, frequency per week, etc leads to which changes.
Lastly, DIET! Eat good and often! Search this forum for dieting tips because I'm getting too tired to type
