I guess I should cut down to 3x a week.

Everyday is not good, in order to build muscle they need to rest in between. If you want bigger you need to eat over you maintenance calories and hit the weights hard with low reps. Stay in between 5-8 reps nothing higher. Make sure you post workout nutrition has carbs and protein, ratio 2:1 (carbs:protien). |
yeah, i will cut down to 2 or 3 times a week and maybe increase the weights. i am doing donkey kicks with only 3.75lbs, total of 50 sets and it is already a workout for me.

I'll post a video later but it's a series if small movements using muscles that you didn't know that you even had. For instance you put on foot behind you , lean forward until you head reaches the bar then lift you leg up, it will naturally lift as you move forward. Then you make a fist with your inner glute muscle and lift your leg an inch of so... Those small movements are killer ... Believe me

I agree. increase your weight lower the reps. If you want to build muscle then this is key

I've begun. I decided to do a short term diet that consists mostly of green smoothies and egg whites.
But I'll also occasionally be eating 100 cal popcorn (weekends probably), raw fruits and veggies, and sunflower seeds. These things will help me when I'm at work all day because I don't always have access to a refrigerator to eat the main things
My workout goal is 5x per week.
