hi,recently i have thoughts about full body routine something like this:
squat
rows
bench press
chin up
db shoulder press
do you think it's effective for mass??(i heard that this is working on strength more than mass ,true?)>?
*the frequency is twice a week
*3 sets each muscle ( in one workout-hit style)
*40 minuts per workout
what do you think,worth to try?
thanks

Looks good what rep ranges are you using and are you going to failure?

I think it would be a good idea to throw in some isolation exercises for the muscles that don't get hit much from the one's you listed. I wouldn't recommend going to failure, most people overtrain too quickly when using high frequency and going to failure.
And as said before, a push/pull 2x per week, or full body 3-4x per week might be a bit better, though you'd need to lower the volume per muscle per day if you choose the latter.
If you're interested in high frequency splits, read up on HST and DFHT.
