First off - once a week for each bodypart is ample. Remeber you do not grow when you train, you only stimulate muscle growth - you actually grow when you rest. You also need to think of your body as a whole, just because you are training each bodypart once every 7 days - bear in mind that each time you train whetehr it is a different bodypart or not - you are still stressing your body as a whole, central nervous systme, immune systme etc - so your body as a while, not just that particular bodypart needs time to recover.

That said if you are feeling fresh all teh time, increase you training intensity - push yourself harder and set new targets...

Why compound only?

To build a balanced and proportioned physique it is best to use a combination of compound and isolation exercises. If you approach you isolation exercises with enough grit, determination and intensity you can stimulate muscle growth and build mass. Isolation exercises can be used as a pre ehxaust for lagging bodyparts. EIther way use both but base your workouts around compound movements adding isolation exercises where you need to.
