Chest/Tri's
-----------
Bench Press - 4 sets of 8
Butterfly's - 4 sets of 8
Standing cable crossovers - 4 sets of 8
Tricep press downs - 4 sets of 8
Tricep extensions - 3 sets of 8

(I wish I could do some decline and incline but the cable machine I use doesn't allow it, nor do I have any dumbells)

Back/Bi's
---------
Bent over rows - 4 sets of 8
Latt pull downs - 4 sets of 8
Seated rows - 3 sets of 8
Standing barbell curls - 4 sets of 8
Hammer curls - 4 sets of 8
Shrugs - 4 sets of 8

Legs/shoulders
--------------
Leg presses - 4 sets of 8
Hamstring curls - 3 sets of 8
Thigh extensions - 4 sets of 8
Calf extensions - 3 sets of 8
Front cable raises - 4 sets of 8
Side cable raises - 4 sets of 8

(I can't do squats or anything on my machine, wish I could. Should I try upright rows for the shoulders also. And are there any exercises that I should be doing in addition to these. I aim for failure on the last set of everything. I really want mass, as I'm already a big guy, so Is there anything I should be doing differently?)

Looks good, brandon. Give it a 5-week run and see what happens!

If you fall down seven times, get up eight.
