Full body workout for gaining mass

Mon, Wed, Fri:

Squats
2 x warmup sets
2 x heavy sets

20 x Pullovers

Bench press
2 x warmup sets
2 x heavy sets

Deadlifts
2 x warmup sets
2 x heavy sets

Military press
3 x heavy sets

Ab crunches


Would this be okay for gaining mass? or should i just stick to doing each muscle group once a week...say for example:

Mon - Bi's, chest, Shoulders
Wed - Legs
Fri - Tri's, Back

Thats what ive been doing for a while now but i was thinking about maybe trying for the full body workout 3 times a week to see if its effective, i heard it was

you want to do that same workout 3 times a week?

I would add some pulling in there like chinups or rows.

Is doing the same workout 3 times a week a bad idea? i just got told that its a good routine for fast mass building, if not ill just go back to my old routine which seemed to have worked so far and just add squats and deadlifts which i never really did much of

Your missing alot of muscles though. And your also not working anything very hard with just 4 sets. Unless you were lifting very VERY heavy.

its looks ok but i would do it twice per week i.e. MON and FRI and you could do abs and low intensity cardio on wednesday also add rows after deadlifts, you might as well do 2 sets for military press (they get worked from benching, rows etc so why do more for them then chest?)

why not follow an HST routine if full body is what you want to do?
