because it wont be enough for proper muscle growth.and to hit all the muscles you need to train them on different days. otherwise your session would take a long time.

where did you read it then?????

Trust me buddy, the pro's go to the gym 4-5 days a week. All the muscles in the body (especially when you get to pro size) need alot of time spent to hit each individual muscle group and from differing angles/movements.
