Can a person gain mass doing a upper/lower body routine?? Upper body on Mon and Thur, lower body on Tue and Fri. If so can someone give me an example of number of exercises per muscle group, sets, and reps. Amount of wt also. Or should I stick with my one muscle group a week??

I personally hate routines that are based on upper body and lower body, switching daily. If you have time for to spend four days a week in the gym, why don't you create a better more beneficial routine for you.

Something like:

Monday - back, biceps
Tuesday - shoulders, triceps
Thursday - legs
Friday - chest

Explain to me how that is more beneficial? Don't say you have more time for recovery, because that isn't an issue if you reduce the volume in accordance with increased frequency. An upper/lower split is perfectly fine, although most people seem to prefer a more traditional split.

Currently, my split is almost like an upper/lower split. I really enjoy it, although part of that is the setup of the routine.

The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

Upper/Lower body splits are a natural progression from total body routines and are perfectly fine for building mass. I would personally allow for a tad more rest; maybe every 2nd day in the gym switching between upper/lower or even every 3rd day.

You might do:

Upper Body
Bent over rows 2 sets
pull ups 2 sets
flat bench - 2 sets
dips 2 - 2 sets
CG bench 1 set
barbell curls 1 set

Lower Body
squats 2 sets
SL deadlifts 2 sets
calf raises 3 sets
leg curl 1 set
lunges 1 set

Day 1 - Upper
Day 2 - rest
Day 3 - Lower
Day4 - rest
Day5 - rest
Day6 - repeat

What this means is that when we drop a ball and it falls to the ground, it wasn't the ball that moved (down to the ground), but the ground that moved (up to the ball)
