which is better for size

Hey all
its that time again, to make up a new split... I was wondering, If the 4 day split or 5 day is the best to gain mass and size.on both of them is once a week for every muscle. I've noticed that that works great for me. if i do a 5 day split i would give each muscle its only day...
i was thinking of this as my new 4 day
day 1 chest/tris/abs
day 2 back,bis
day 4 legs
day5 shoulders/traaps
this is what i was thinking for a five day
day 1 chest/abs
day 2 back
day 3 rest
day 4 legs
day 4 dets/calves
day 5arms
so, which split would you guys pick as a good split to gain mass??
thanks guys

I can't agree with L.T. more.....the 5 day split is the best to pack on size. Gives plenty of recoop time. The key is really hitting whatever muscle group your on for that day...

For pure muscle mass:
Monday.....total upper body
Wednsday.....total lower body
Friday....total upper body
next week:
Monday...total lower body
Wednsday...total upper body
Friday...total lower body
Alternate every following monday, each new week. 9 to 16 sets for lower and upper body muscle groups. Weekends were not made for working out. This is a fact that too many people learn late in life rather than when they first begin training. Good Luck.
