It's a good split with a nice selection of exercises. I made a few changes - just a little less volume.

Don't forget to add in your intensity level when factoring overall recuperation. If you feel the need (recuperation wise), take a day off in between a training day or train two days in a row and then take a day off. As long as your nutritional program is up to par, you should have no problem gaining some quality mass on this program.

And if, by chance, the poundages start to "stick" after a few weeks or so, change up your repetition scheme.

Good luck!

What are your stats? That routine sucks for a bulk. Try something like this:

Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
Flat Bench 4 sets
Military press 3 sets
skull crushers 3 sets

Back/Biceps
Deadlifts 4
BB rows 4
Heavy bar curls 3

Legs
Squats 4
Extentions 4
Some type of calf movement
