In order to stimulate your muscles to grow you have to cause them to do more work than they are used to. The main reason why we build muscle and get stronger is because when we increase the workload and stress on our muscles past what they are used to it forces them to grow in order to adapt to this new stress level.
So in saying that it is important that if you are looking to build muscle you need a workout that is going to stress the muscles as well as hit as many muscle fibers at one time as possible.
Your workouts should consist of mostly compound exercises such as:
Bench Press
Skull Crushers
Military Press
Lunges
Squat
Rows
Clean and Press
Compound exercises will hit the most muscle fibers than any other exercises which means more muscle growth. These exercises should be performed using proper form and should be kept within the 6-10 rep range. This means that if your goal is 8 reps than on your 8th rep it is extremely hard for you to push out that rep.
Rest is also very important, just remember that working out too much will cause overtraining which will in the end cause you to lose muscle instead of gain it. It is recommended that you workout a particular muscle group only once every 5-7 days.
