Well for 1 and 2 that you listed, you need to make sure your nutrition is correct, and you only listed training. What’s your diet like?

You need a stimulus (resistance training) and the building blocks (protein) to build muscle. Make sure you’re getting enough calories in too, if you want to build more than you have, you need to take in more than you are to maintain.

Your training is typical beginner bodybuilder weider-esque split…stick with the more of an upper/lower split m/t/th/f, and focus on compound exercices. Big exercises first (bench, squat, dead) then accesory movements (curls, delt raises). I’d cut down on the isolation exercises too.

Read up on the site, great info, you will learn a lot and see where you can improve your workouts, I know it’s been a great help to me over the years.

DK is right, though i would suggest a full body program 3 times a week. all big compound movments then as you make some progress add some isolations to prevent/correct any imbalances you may see develpoing. Just my opinion. out of interest, why don’t you want to use creatin??

ive used it before and it was GNC brand, maybe i used the wrong one, but it really fucked with my stomach hardcore and it turned me away from it

5

Get SKW test, micronized creatine. Doubt you will have problems with that. Diet and training come first though.

6

is there a link will send me to the right place to read/look for diet and training

The Are You a Beginner II thread pinned above has lot of both
