Default Re: Review my at home workout.

That is not a good program to build muscle.

In order to build muscle, you need to break your workouts up a little more according to bodypart/muscle. You are overtraining by hitting the same muscle groups every other day.

The best way to gain muscle mass, is to train one or two muscle groups in a session. Hit it hard and heavy and don't hit it again for at least 36 hours or longer.

My split right now is 2 on 1 off 2 on 2 off.

Monday: Chest
Tuesday: Back
Wed. Off
Thursday: Legs
Friday: Shoulders and arms.

Of course, there are a ton of different ways to split things up and you should experiment until you find on that works.

Also, start eating five to six smaller meals through out the day. Drink a scoop of protein powder with each one. A good idea is to eat 3 solid meals and 3 protein supplement meals.

If you don't mind putting on a little body fat with your muscle, which in my opinion is almost unavoidable for gaining mass, you need to take in lots of calories. You should get a mininum of 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body wieght each day. Keep carbs moderate and fat moderate/low.
