The routine wont determine whether or not you gain mass, your diet will. If you aren't eating enough calories no routine will make you bigger.

As for your routine, looks like you have a lot of un-necessary fluff in there like repeats of similar movements, too much isolation work, too much machine work...stick to basic freeweights compound movements, add extra stuff for flavour.

Why pyramid your set/rep scheme? Is there any particular reason for this? Theres not really any benefit to doing this, but will mean you have to switch equipment after every set. Needless hassle!

Theres also not much of a balance between pushing and pulling movements, which could lead to some imbalances. I would chuck this out and just start simple. You don't need a million different movements to see progress, better to have a few basic movements and really focus on improving them.

Squats, Deadlifts, Lunges, and Good Mornings for Legs.
Bench Press, Pullups, Rows, and Military Press for Upper Body.

Throw in a few sets of curls/tricep extensions/calve raises/other machine shit at the end of the session, and you have a solid exercise selection.

I would read a few of the stickied hreads in the training section, especially Cowpimp's threads of putting together a weights program.
