Use whole body exercises. My detailed workout-structure called "The Big Five" is: 1. Seated Row, 2. Chest Press, 3. Pull down, 4. Overhead press, 5. Leg press. I use machines because you can exercise with very high intensity and don't hurt yourself. Train with very high intensity.
-Don't try to imitate Bodybuilders who train several times per week. Their bodies are genetically abnormal and their muscles can recover much faster than the ones of "normal" people.
Exercising each muscle once a week is fine advice, Habit wise, it may be better to split up the sessions.
Sure, if you like commuting to the fitness studio, that's fine. I want to save as much time as possible.
