right now im doing 3 sets of 15, every muscle group (split - arms today, legs tomorrow, back day after etc)
If you can do 3 sets of 15, your not overloading your muscles, straight up. If you're really looking to gain mass, aim for low reps high weight(about 5-8 reps). Also, how many days a week are you devoted to putting time into the gym? I do 4 days, working every body part once a week, with weekends off, and wednesday off( wednesday off for practice, and weekends for work)
Monday- Chest,
Tuesday- Back, Arms
Wednesday- Off
Thursday- Shoulders and Upper Legs
Friday- Lower Legs, Abs, Lower Back, etc.
Saturday- Off
Sunday- Off
I do the best with the time I have available to put in. Now I only do each body part once week, but for most of the week, they are recovering because I make sure to totally work that part for that day. Try to avoid working your 3 main muscle groups on the same day(chest, upper legs, and back). Other ways you could try out is a two day split routine. Some common ways for this doing upper body on one day, lower body on the other. Or "pushing" muscles one day, and "pulling" muscles on the other and just repeat those for the time you have.
