I was wondering to gain mass safely and healthly to leave cardio to just 1 day a week, and one day off a week (eating right but not workingout), and then lifting the remaining days. Like this: Monday - Upperbody, Tuesday: Cardio, Weds. - nothing, thurs - lower body, friday - upperbody, then switch it around ya know? Sound good for healthy mass gains?

thats good but do one set which will be super heavy one with a rep of 3-4 only.

choosing loads depends on your goal..
indurance: high reps + low weight
strength: low reps + high weight
hypertrophy(body building): not too high or low - 12-15 reps
- 65-70% RM
