If you want a good three day bulker...i would consult pullinbig's template he lays out somwhere.... IMHO way too many sets, and I would never be able to do that split using the heavy weight necc. to bulk.

also, keep in mind, if you want to bulk, your workout should revolve around the three big lifts ( Flat Bench, Deadlift, Squats) none of which i see here. Stick to those and compound movements, rather than isolation movements and you'll be fine.
 
you have it set up well, bit i would limit the number of reps to 25-30 per bodypart (possibly less for smaller muscles), and incorporate some bigger lifts. if youre eating right youll do fine.
 
I have to agree with evansss-you wanna grow, do the big 3. NOTHING will pack on mass and strength like some nice, heavy squats and deads.

Also, i notice the majority of your workout is done on machines. Do you not have access to free weights? You'll see MUCH better results goin' with some good ol' heavy iron than those machines IMHO.

Good luck on hitting your goals bro.
