I'm not sure how much body fat I have, but most likely more than 8% haha. But the point is when i started to str train I would go hard the first few months, as in each muscle group twice a week with a day where i just relax. So my schedule would look kind of like this after awhile because right when i started i would be too sore to do this. monday:chest/tri Tues:back/bi Wed:shoulder/legs: thurs:rest Fri:chest/tri Sat: back/bi Sun:Shoulder/legs. After awhile the soreness goes away faster so you can work out more. ALso I try to vary the order of my excercises and sometimes do different ones because my body would seem to get used to the routine. And i've heard that varying workouts also allow the body to build faster.
Doing upper body 3 times then lower body 3 times may work, but lets say a part of your upper body is still sore and its a wed. Working out sore muscles isn't good to my knowledge. I believe its better to focus on groups at a time however im not a trainer or anything so its just what me and my friends do haha.
