Ok, as a routine goes, is this a bit bare?
Feb-05 Week 1 Mon/Tue/Fri Bodyweight 154lb Upper Body Bench Press 8reps; 3 sets 125lb Chinups 8 reps; 3 sets bodyweight Press-ups 25 by 3 sets w/ 25lb plate Core Crunches 50 by 5 sets Seated Row 45 reps; 3 sets 35lb Lower Body Quads 25 reps; 3 sets 35lb Hamstring 25 reps; 3 sets 20lb Cardio 5km roadwork Mon - Sat HeavyBag 3 rounds by 3
I'm trying to gain mass but so far I've only managed to tone up. Weight; 154lb Height; 6'1
Need to get to 170lb by next January (muscle), could that be done in 12 months?
Is it a good idea to do a few muscle groups in one day, or split them up over the week? Feel free to critique or add to. I'm working on a trial and error system with this workout

1. Take away the press-ups.
2. Reduce volume but increase intensity of crunches.
3. Replace seated rows with deadlifts.
4. For the legs, just squat for the moment.
5. When I was starting weightlifting, full-body workout works for me, since I was unable to recruit stabalisers. As you gain experience, it may be better for you to do splits.

Personally I would ditch the leg workout you have planned and learn to squat and deadlift. you'll hit your quads and hams.
Personally I like to segment my workout instead of doing a full body workout. I work out monday, tuesday, thursday, friday and train in a karate dojo (but do kata every day =) on monday, wednesday. On saturday I do yoga. generally my workout goes like this:
Day 1: Chest/Triceps
bench press incline bench press, barbell or dumbbell decline bench press or chest fly triceps dip skull crushers rope pulldown
Day 2: Back/Shoulders deadlifts lat pulldowns seated rows lat pull over machine (dont know what this is really called) shrugs military press/dumbbell shoulder press dumbbell lateral raise/upright shoulder rows
Day 3: Biceps/Lower Body Pull ups Barbell/Dumbbell curls Preacher curls hammer curls squats weighted lunges box step ups
Day 4: Repeat Day 1 with an added ab and core workout
On different weeks I alternate between doing chest/triceps, and back/shoulders on day 1 and 4.
I never do legs twice in a week since it takes me so long to recover.

Since nobody else has mentioned it, I'll say it just in case: EAT. You won't gain weight unless you eat a ton of food, and you won't gain lean mass unless you eat clean food.
Edit: You'll probably need more volume in your program, but not as much as Borrek has listed there. That's going a little overboard in my opinion.

Ok, thanks for all the input.
About the splits (muscle groups per day), I'll stick with the full body workout until I build a good base, but I'll try it at a later date.
Why should I ditch the pressups thought ?
I should have mentioned that I do the chin-ups with a kind of a weighted vest thing, hence the reason for only 5 or 6 per set.
And with the whole food thing, I'm still trying to work out the whole 40, 40, 20 system, and work it into my diet. If anyone as any good siyes with info on this.

Its a question of balance. As it stands, you have 2 upper body pushing movements and only one pulling movement. A good solid 4 set of bench, 4 set of chins will give you appropriate volume and balance in upper body work.

Cord's right. I know it's hard to believe at first, but it really is true. You'll notice that in my workout log, I only do 5*8 chest press and 5*8 chinup (and I don't usually make it to 8 reps). And I hurt like hell today (the day after). I'll still hurt tomorrow too. In fact, I won't be able to physically lift again till my next workout on tuesday. And that's done with two lifts. Never underestimate the power of compound lifts
