Been thinking of doing this routine:
Monday:Chest/Biceps
Tuesday:Rest
Wednesday:Legs/Shoulders
Thursday: Rest
Friday:Back/Triceps
You guys think this is enough or should I be lifting more often? I am looking to gain more mass but not sure if I should add in more days.
You should train every muscle 2-3 times a week. A good routine for a beginner like you is Babylovers Starting Strength

THIS
and instead of back/tris and chest/bis you should do chest/tris and back/bis becasue all of the chest compund movements you do wokr the tris ex Benchpress
and same for back and bis, ex latpulldowns/pullups
and than you can endoff your chest workout with a few sets of an isolation movement for tris( same for back and bis)

This.
Training 3day per week is perfect. Good balance between work and rest. But, as Rasse said, higher frequency is the key. Follow a full body routine. A muscle fiber just need 2-3 days to recover. If you train it once every 7 days, you are wasting 4 days.

Yeah, I'm in the gym mon-fri. You could maybe add a cardio day on your rest days to get your heart rate up. Maybe do some abs too. Not sure what your trying to do.

This routine was used by a friend. I recently posted it in another thread, but I messed up. I like it, but it gets pretty tough when the weight goes up.
