This is a general fitness split. It is not a mass split in any way, shape or form. No one (except, I know Arnold) can do back and chest in one day for mass and you are adding shoulders the same day!

Then the second day, you pump all your blood into you arms, then do squats!

This is a good split for someone, who took a few years off or who has never trained and is looking to tone up.

Mass building requires intensity. How are you planning to push 100-110 pound dumbells during your shoulder press after you have done three sets of bench to failure and well over a hundred pull ups! Going to failure at that point, on that exercise is begging for an injury.

The approach to this split is all wrong.

Start over.

IMHO

You need some work to do here bro. General rule of thumb 10-12 set for large muscles 6-8 for small. Seach throught the posts and stickies to compile a better program. Also make sure you read Swoles sticky about mass

MASS Routine VER2-Critique/Opinions

This Is a better routine than the other bro it’s the classic 3 day week that has worked for so many, me included

1 is there any real reason you using 1-2-4 rep ranges I personally think you will recruit more muscle fibers in the 6-12-15 range

2 (triceps) change Triceps Pushdowns,cable for a more productive compound movement, close grips, skullkrusher, ect, 2x dips x 2 skull x2 c/g 2x seated ex,
