Some mass gain advice
I am 23 years old 5'7" and weigh 165-170 lbs. I want to gain more muscle mass and gain definition. is it completely impossible to do both at a time? My current routine is
Monday. Chest / back
tuesday. Legs
Wednesday rest
Thursday. Arms
Friday. Shoulders
saturday. Rest
Sunday. Soccer
On a usual day my diet is
breakfast. Protein shake plus oatmeal made with water not milk( I hate milk)
brunch. 3 whole eggs. Sometimes if I'm in a hurry a protein shake instead.
Lunch. chicken Sandwich with wheat bread, lettuce tomatoes, jalapenos, cucumbers, and mustard. Very little ranch too.
Snack. Apple with peanut butter or protein shake of I didn't already replace brunch with protein shake.
Dinner. Usually a skinny crust veggie pizza with chicken added no cheese. ( I work at a pizza place so this is readily available)
1 hr b4 bed. Protein shake.
I always take a protien shake after my workout which is usually after my snack. Along with some juice for the simple carbs.
Any suggestions for my desired goal? Critisism is welcome!

Yes you can do both at the same time... If your serious about gaining muscle you have to eat more, have 7 meals a day that will leave you stuffed, protein shakes arent meal replacements, their extra calories and protein with a meal. Use a calorie calculator to see how many calories u need a day and besure to reach ur requirements.
Remember Diet is just as important as your routine which you should probably post for us to look at...
goodluck

Yeh, you're not eating enough.
Just from your stats given I'd estimate around 3000cals/day would be required. Lift heavy, lower rep range and you'll gain lean mass. Squat, press and pull and eat and you'll be on the right track.

I think u can do both in adding mass and leaning out at the same time. As the other fellas said diet is key.
With your split....are you doing deads and squats? I guess not with leg the day after back..
Hows this split look to you-
Chest/bis
legs
off
delt/tri
Back
off
This would allow u to get the big compunds in the spilt, which with your stats is what you need. Lol, u will need more food then Bro.

What I was originally doing was on Monday I'd follow the p90x chest and back workout which I kinda liked but doesn't do much for the lower back. I'd add stiff leg dead lift to my leg workout cuz it seems to be a good workout for my hamstrings to. I'd add some back extesions with that. But I will definitely give ur suggested routine a try plus add some more food. Should I incorporate cardio to reduce body fat? If so when?

P90x is a GREAT program for leaning up and defining but not bilking IMHO. I agree with heavy low rep lifting and a solid clean diet with heavy protein.
