re: Is hitting muscle groups once per week enough?

About seven weeks into hitting Blue Star and the results are a little slower than I would like. On most routines I am seeing incremental increase, but on some, I am just flat stagnant - particularly upper body (chest & back). Frustrating.
I’m doing the full body Blue Star workout every Sunday with CrossFit and Oly training the rest of the week.
I have added weight on every lift each week in Squat, Bench, Deadlift, Strict Press and Tricep Dips. It’s a 5x3 program where I operate in the 80-85% range of my 1RMs.

Yeah, I mean I am trying my best...for instance, yesterday I did my Day 1 workout. Incremental increase in each of the first four routines, but by the time I got to close grip bench, my arms were shot...absolutely tightened up with lactic acid from all the preceding pressing and could not do what I did in preceding weeks in the next three. So...arbitrary increase is just not possible...I dont know what the right balance is, but I just feel like I am not making strength gains hitting things once per week.
Day 4: Barbell Rows and Chin-ups (BARELY) have seen no improvement since week one. The only ones where I have seen no improvement. I just don't feel like I hit back enough to make strength gains.
