A few things you need to keep in consideration:

Building muscle and size does not come by just drastically lifting weights. You will get NOWHERE by just lifting alone.

You MUST eat correctly. You must keep your intake high in nutrients, and ESPECIALLY high in protein. Somebody your size should be consuming about 225-250g of Protein per day to help build on that smaller size of yours.

Another thing you could consider which isn't required is Creatine. You need to be very careful and please consult somebody with expeiernce with this before you start taking it. Creatine can help build some water weight and just general mass, along with protein it is a good combination.

I would recommend taking a scoop of muscle milk in the morning along with some whole grain cereal. You need to make sure and take another serving scoop before you work out atleast 15-20 minutes before working out. And another 1 1/2 - 2 scoops after working out.

Also multivitamins are essential. Without all of these in combination, you can't really expect to gain any mass and stay healthy.



I'll critique your workout routine more indepth later, but I would break your 3 days a week of working out into three colums.

Chest/Arms one day (Biceps,Tris,Shoulders,Back)

Core one day: (Squats, squats, squats, crunches, lower back)

Legs: (Cardio included, quads, calves, ham, lunges)
