Monday: Chest, legs
Wednesday: Biceps, shoulder, triceps
Friday: back, chest

I´m interested about results in chest and arms coverall

Not good at all.. How could you honestly do "volume work" to your chest AND legs in the same day?

If you're interested in growing, I would do legs at least twice a week instead.

I don't know what your strength base is since you're new, but you should be more concerned with gaining strength (which will give you mass) vs. doing anything remotely related to volume.

Now, I cannot stop you if you want to jump into the fun world of volume training vs. establishing your strength base, and that's fine.

"Then you must start from the beginning." - Morphius

The most basic of programs will serve you well..

Day One:

Squat
Bench
Row

Day Three:

Military Press
Pullups
Deadlifts

Day Five:

Squat
Bench or Dips
Row

Work on strength a la 3 sets of 5 reps on everything since you're brand spanking new. Strength progression is your ONLY true goal if you want mass. Build a foundation for your house to stand on.
