I don't mean to be rude, but why do you want to gain mass?
Or bulk up?

It is not as much your workout, as it is your diet that will gain you mass. Any workout regimine, going as heavy as you can and steadily pushing your muscles beyond the stage where your body can adapt, will suffice. Important to this is diet though. You need to take in a surplus of calories to gain. A good place to start would be 250 calories or so above your maintnenance level, that would provide a surplus without shocking the body with a ton of calories all at once and gear toward lean mass gains rather than fat. This would be 1750 surplus calories per week, and in 2 weeks you should gain a lb.(3500 calories is one lb.) You will have to play with this and see the excess you need, alot depends on your activity level, etc., but again, this should come into play in your maintenance calories. One note here, try to do as "clean" a gain as you can. Meaning make your calories good ones, like lean proteins, good unrefined carbs and healthy fats. Not candy bars and ice cream! LOL..These will of course add weight, but not the kind you want I am sure.
