The best way to start IMO is either a fullbody routine or upper/lower split. Basically you want more frequency and less volume. You dont want a lot of exercises. Just a few and work them once or twice a week, or at least variations of them. For example
Monday - upper
Bench
DB Bench
Lat-dominant
Tricep
Bicep
Tuesday - lower
Squat
Quad-dominant
Hamstring-dominant
Thursday - upper
Inclined Bench
DB Shoulder Press
Lat-Dominant
Tricep (different exercise than monday)
Bicep
Friday - lower
Squat
SLDL
Calves
That's just an example but you see with that you are not doing a ton of exercises but the exercises you do pick will work the whole body, both with compounds and iso's. Do 3-4 sets for an exercise and add weight every session. That's key to gaining mass, not volume.

yeah i agree with the guys above. if your just starting out you might want to do full body three times a week or something like that, however if you have expirence lifting, you might to work on your split. try to leave 72 hours so that your muscle have enough time time to grow. like this:
day 1- legs
day 2- chest, back, abs
day 3- shoulders
off
day 4- bi's, tri's, abs
day 1
off
day 2
day 3
day 4
off
day1
etc etc etc
thats what im currently running and you really give your muscles enough time to recover. just a thoughttrain like a beast, gain like a beast
Current:
GNC- multi sport
Optimum Nutrition-100% gold standard whey
Prolab- Creapure
Controlled Labs- Purple Wrath
Optimum- fish oil
