The number of times you workout and your split seems fine for gains. If you are looking for muscular hypertrophy you may want to be doing a 3-4 day split and giving your muscles more of a chance to rest.
The best advice I can give you is using advanced training principles and you should be keeping track of your workouts. Please read:

Let me know if you dont understand something,
PT.

11/21/2003 12:28:19 AM | hi PT,thanks for writing!
i was working out 3x/week (full body). then i moved to a 2 day split (4 workouts/week). i try to eat 3 meals and 2 snacks/day, but i only put on weight. admittedly, i don't sleep as much as i should, only 4-5 hrs./night. also, i've had left knee surgery (meniscus repair, both sides), so i have trouble doing squats. i've added good mornings, hindu squats, leg extensions and ham curls. this is very frustrating. i manage to keep up with my workout, but without gains, i'm not sure for how long. any suggestions?

Are you overtraining? Are you eating properly? You are asking a difficult question without knowing the background. How often do you workout... etc.
