It's not laid out neatly, or I just suck at reading it. Can someone copy and paste the routine here for me to see because I just can't spot it. :/

Also, I've noticed that it has only 3 workouts per day, I personally feel like that's a bit little, so why is it only 3 workouts / day?
You need one day between workout days for light training alone... High-end normally asks for two days between. The reason for that is because you don't built muscle by working out but rather when you're resting. Every time you work your muscles to the minimum required in any building, you are actually making millions of tears in your muscle and destroying the current muscle. Your body basically says 'oh shit' and starts to repair it and it's telling itself that you need better muscles to handle whatever the heck you are doing. The same goes for skin and bones which is why you hit punching bags for fight training. Have you ever heard the saying, too much of a good thing is bad for you? That is true for everything, including water which will actually poison you if you drink too much. You're not going to gain anything if you don't rest every other day AND get a full night of sleep every day. As far as what workout you should do, don't listen to people who try to bullshit about a magical workout that works for everyone. Everyone is different and the only way you're going to know what is right for you is if you seek out someone who would know in real life, like a trainer, or just trying things out on your own.

I'm in the process of working myself back up to where I was in high-school but back then, I did endurance training. You have to understand that there are two basic forms of muscle training. On one side, you have endurance training that focuses on a normal sized built but super strong muscles with the bonus of obvious endurance and speed. On the other side, you have training based on muscle mass. This will basically focus on raw power and gaining huge muscles.

Here are some examples...

Bruce Lee, like most martial artists, built fast and compact but powerful muscles.


On the other side, you have Arnold here like any body builder focusing on muscle mass.


With that said, you don't have to actually focus on one or the other. Bruce Lee focused on endurance based muscle for martial arts and Arnold did mass for body building competitions. They had roles to fit with their builds.

Even tho you don't need to focus on one or the other, it's still good to understand why you would be building muscle in the first place. What will you be using it for?
