Should I change my weight lifting schedule?

I have recently been reading this book on anabolic muscle building. I’m an ectomorph meaning I am a hard gainer. I have been lifting weights since 8 th grade and now I am going to be a Junior in High School.
The book told me I should work my muscles out separately and only 45 min. Giving me a 2 day rest in between workout days. I was wondering if I should change my lifting schedule, I have seen my gains but I want to know if this new one is better for building more mass.

Current Schedule: I don’t separate muscle groups, I do all in one workout day. I begin each lifting running for 15 min at a fast pace until I sweat.I rest for 2 days in between lifting days.

Bench Press- 4 sets up to 10 reps

Barbell Squats- 4 sets up to 10 reps

Barbell Rows- 4 sets up to 12 reps

Chin Ups- 4 sets of 1 rep (close grip pulling up and holding that position for as long as possible until biceps give out, supposed to put stress throughout your biceps the whole time while stimulating a lot of muscle fibers)

Dumbbell Lateral Raises- 3 sets up to 12 reps

Barbell Curl- 3 sets up to 12 reps

Skull crushers- 3 sets up to 12

Tricep Dips- 3 sets up to 12 reps (above the floor with the 2 handles on the lower ab workout seat were you raise your legs together until they’re parallel to the ground)

Shoulder Series- Uses two 10 lbs plates with 3 different shoulder work outs 12 reps in 3 sets for each continuously.

Barbell Wrist Curl- 3 sets up to 25 down to 10

Reverse Wrist Curl- 3 sets up to 12 reps down to 8

Standing Wrist curls- same as barbell wrist curl

abs- In between lifting days

My new plan: Separating muscle groups on different days with 2 days rest in between lifting days. All workouts will be performed the same just separated into different days.

Saturday- Legs

Barbell Squats

Machine Calve raises-3 sets of up to 12 reps

Tuesday- Upper body

Bench Press

Barbell Rows

One rep 4 set Chin ups- performed same way as other one

Barbell Curls

Tricep Dips

skull crushers

barbell Wrist Curls

Reverse barbell Wrist curls

Standing barbellwrist curls

Shoulder series- performed same way as before

Other info: I have a high protein diet consisting of whey protein post work out. Chicken, beef, egg, and milk. Bread, vegetables, a lot of water, about 14 glasses a day. I also supplement with multi vitamins and vitamin d.

I just need to know if I should switch up my routine. I also want to know if my routine is too hard for gaining muscle mass faster. I need a routine that will build my muscle mass faster. My old workout increased my muscle mass but only about 1 lbs per week. Is there another work out plan that will work faster and better?
