Sorry to say mate but that workout plan just isn't good enough. You shouldn't be training shoulders and back same day and if you want mass you neeeeeeed deadlift in that back program!!!

looks good, ive used somethin similar for years and have had great results. i use a variant of that, same split altho i work out 2 on, wed off, 2 on, weekends off. switch shoulders to be worked after back, and like suggested in the previous post, include deadlifts. i do them as my first exercise with back. also, i would toss in leg presses, lying leg curls, and an additional calf exercise, i do standing raises. im in the gym on average for an hour and 15 min.

It doesn't look bad, get it a try and see how it goes for you!

I'm a big fan of deadlifting though, consider adding that into your program at some point.

I relly don't agree with ' it looks good' why would you lift heavy compund exercises on shoulders and back on the same day?!

My advice would be to have your workout like this,
Chest and tricep
Back and bicep
Shoulders and abs
Legs

Thanks fo the feedback guys...

the routine i suggested would have an individual training each muscle group directly once every 4-6 days,not including residual assistance work on other mucle days that unless using high volume workouts shouldnt pose a problem. and with 3 days a week off, including weekends, it gives plenty of rest and time to enjoy life outside the gym (my daughter has ballet on wednesdays,and im in a continuous barter system with my wife to get laid lol). ive used 4 day splits plenty of times in the past, this way just suits me i suppose, as my major chore is the constant scheduling of daily feedings. inbetween cycles, i go mon, wed, fri only with a 2 way split. day 1 chest, back, shoulders. day 2 legs, arms, albeit with reduced volume. i just cant see giving shoulders a day to themselves, with them having a muscle cross-section that can be literally covered almost totally with an outstretched hand. on the otherhand, its what each individual trainer digs as to what is gonna get him returning to the wheightpile to make progress. to get back on topic, ya man blast that routine for 2 months or so, then try mine, or suntzu's for that matter, and see whats gettin u back in the gym consistantly, and gettin you stronger.

thats not a bad 3 day split, but it is hard to hit shoulders and back really well same day. heres one that i use a lot when i switch up to 3x week
mon: chest ( 3-4 exercises) shoulders(3-4 exercises) triceps(2-3 exercises)
wed: quads, hamstrings, calves
fri: back (4 exercises) biceps (2-3 exercises) forearms(1-2 exercises)
hit it hard and fast lot of intensity and stay focused it doesn't have to be a long workout to be productive. don't care what anyone says
