Since you're only able to go three times a week, I suggest you split things up like this.


Monday

Chest

Smith machine/hammer strength incline: 6 sets of 10-12 reps with 30-60 seconds rest in between.

Machine flat bench/decline bench: 6 sets of 10-12 reps with 30-60 seconds rest in between.

Cable crossover: 4 sets of 12-18 reps with 30 seconds rest in between.


Quads

Leg extension: 4 sets of 12-20 reps with 60 seconds rest in between.

Leg press: 8 sets of 12-20 reps with 60 seconds rest in between.




Wednesday

Arms

Concentration curl/cable pushdown superset: 12 reps of curls then 12 reps of pushdowns, repeat 8 times. With no rest in between.


Shoulders

Smith machine/hammer strength shoulder press: 8 sets of 10-12 reps with 30-60 seconds rest in between.

Side dumbbell laterals: 4 sets of 12-15 reps with 30-60 seconds rest in between.

Machine or dumbbell rear laterals: 4 sets of 12-15 reps with 3-60 seconds rest in between.




Friday

Back

Chin ups: 6 sets of 8-12 reps with 30-60 seconds rest in between.

Cable row/t-bar row: 6 sets of 10-12 reps with 30-60 seconds rest in between.


Ham strings

Lying hamstring curl: 8 sets of 12-15 reps with 30-60 seconds rest in between.


Calves

Standing calf raise: 6 sets of 15-20 reps with 30-60 seconds rest in between.

Seated calf raise: 6 sets of 15-20 reps with 30-60 seconds rest in between.



Pretty basic, but it still hits everything. Since you're new I suggest you stick with mainly machines to start with.
