Workout critique

[justo]

Here's my work out as follows

Monday: chest tricep
Tuesday: back bicep
Wednesday: rest
Thursday: shoulders traps
Friday: legs
I do 4 to 5 exercises for each body part consisting of 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps till failure on the last 2 sets. I have 1 question in particular that is, what's the best amount of rest time between sets to gain mass?
Also after a few more weeks I'm going to change this workout routine I've been looking at Dorian Yates high intensity training but not sure if this is right for me. I want to gain as much lean mass as possible. I don't really have the time to weigh food and stuff but I try to eat as clean as possible. If you like I can post a days eating routine. Thanks in advance

That's a decent split that allows for some good recovery time. You should take a Tad more rest between your working sets so they recover enough to allow you to go heavier. HIT training via Dorian Yates is a very useful tool and you should make some great progress.

4 to 5 exercises per bodypart is a lot in my opinion.

Legs in my opinion should be trained at least three times a week. Not necessarily full-effort all the time, but must be hit heavy frequently, with squats. I got great wheels because of that training.

Aside from the 4 to 5 exercise per bodypart thing, I think your split is decent.

4-5 exercises for major muscle groups is sorta standard along with 2-3 exercises for small muscle groups.

Isn't that only true if you're already a big bodybuilder who's making sure that further development is balanced? OP said he wanted lots of lean mass. I equate lean mass with big basic lifts and little regards to detail.

it doesn't really matter as long as your tearing enough muscle tissue that your body needs to repair. The more advanced you get the harder it gets

Big muscle groups....2 to 3 compound movements and 2 to 3 accessory exercises.

It depends on whether you're under eating or over eating, the frequency of your training, the intensity of the lifts, the volume, rest in between sets, your recovery outside the gym, lifestyle factors outside the gym, and probably a thousand other little nuances.

I've had a ton of accomplishment with this , it fundamentally lives up to expectations by issuing me certainty, I do 5 arrangements of 3 sets.
