My favorite mass routine is upping cals when i hit a plateau. you can grow off low rep heavy weight and can also grow off high rep. calories dictate mass in the end.

[oldschool1967]

the routine that put the most muscular size on me was madcow 5x5, put 30 solid pounds on in a couple months, i also may add i was depleted, physically and emotionally, i was also in a sever state of ketosis.so, when i started the 5x5(and able to feed myself again) my body was ready for some serious growth.for those who dont know, arthur jones made casey viator drop his weight to 165, then fly to him for the famous/infamous colorado experiment.

this one I made up myself, brace yourself, it's a long post. Hope a certain guy does not mind, lol, but Clitoris (key word to hold up attention and interest...) But it's great for mass or cut. I train the same way for either purpose... takes a deep breath, here it is with the whole rhyme and reason... one last thing... I now do this but train 1 day on 1 day off...

Day1: back width, quads, calves

Day 2: chest, biceps, abs

Day 3: off

Day 4: Back thickness, hams, calves

Day 5: shoulders, triceps, abs.

Day 6 and 7 off (week end in my case)

Here's what I like about this routine. Back workouts when you do thickness and width are just too much. Leg trainings when you do quads and hams are comprimised as well. Split them up. You may say doing back and legs is too much. But so is a full back or leg workout.

Here you get to target the lats and quads with the attention they deserve. You may have more energy for quads than you think after doing lat width. I do 6 sets and by then, I'm done. I still have energy to train obviously but not for more back however. The action of pulling, pulling and pulling for the same bodypart gets stale and the mind/muscle connection goes to shits. Time to move onto another bodypart.

Also on chest/bicep day you can do some light tricep exercises between sets of biceps without messing your bicep routine and get a nice pump in your tri's. I'm positive this has helped my development. The key is to simply not push it too hard. Do 12 reps with a weight you could get 20 with and train fast. No need to tear down a shit load of tricep fibers. And stick to easier excercies to avoid cns burnout.

When you start with back thickness, you will begin to reap the benefits of these exercises like never before. Also since you know there's no other back stuff to do, you can really train hard here. And by thursday you're fine to do thickness when width was done on monday.

Hams often are trained after quads. But the type of energy you have left after quads to do hams, is not the same after doing back thickness. Also sometimes if I have the energy I will do leg extensions in between sets of hams, the same principle as on tricep day here...

Shoulders and tri's are fresh as they had some work on Tuesday, but by Friday, you're gtg. Also you can do some light bicep work in between sets of triceps. All these extra sets done with excercises that are easy on the cns=more calories burned as well, it keeps you leaner, at least in my experience. Just remember, don't go overboard with them, it's more of pump workout,but the extra pump leads to more muscle, plus it's fun to do

The program could be set up for more hamstring and chest work as well. The principle would be the same while training the antagonist muscle ligthly on those days and harder on the given day where that muscle is a priority. Just don't do antagonist, even light sets for every group. Pick and chose 2 or 3 muscles like I did.
