Best routine for Mass

What would be the best routine for Mass, still staying away from Over-Training and Under-Training.

I usually go 5 days straight without any problems. . . If I feel under-recovered/fatigued/or have a lack of motivation, I just take a day off, then right back to it. The frequency would also be dependent upon your split. If you did one on one off and worked one muscle a day, it would take about 10-11 days between bodyparts. Just pick a split and try it. . .

There are a lot of factors that go into overtraining like how often do you train a muscle group, how many sets you are doing, diet habits, etc. Too broad of a question to give a complete answer.

Well I changed it so I now Lift on Monday - Tuesday - Thursday - Saturday
Monday: Pec - Triceps - Abs
Tuesday: Legs - Calves
Wednesday: OFF (recuperation, muscle construction)
Thursday: Back - Biceps - Forearms
Friday: OFF (recuperation, muscle construction)
Saturday: Shoulder - Traps - Calves - Abs

What you think ? What would you change ? is this Over Training ?

That wouldn't be over training in my opinion, as long as you are taking Sunday off between delts and chest.

you are pretty right. I did this poll, then I realized that It's quite general..

I stoped my choice from a simple 2 ON, 1 OFF to a final static routine of:

ON: Monday - Tuesday - Thursday - Saturday
OFF: Wedenesday - Friday - Sunday

Muscle:

Monday: Pec - Triceps - Abs
Tuesday: Legs - Calves
Wednesday: OFF (recuperation, muscle construction)
Thursday: Back - Biceps - Forearms
Friday: OFF (recuperation, muscle construction)
Saturday: Shoulder - Traps - Calves - Abs
Sunday: OFF (recuperation, muscle construction)

I do no OFF days between Mon and Thu because I won't hit back the arms and upper body while doing my legs workout..

mass is on reps and diet (along with rest)

but that would be last piece of puzzle

what you mean on "reps"
series of 8-10 reps is good for mass ?
