please bear with me and give me some advice, Im 18 and basically just starting doing weights a month ago. I want to gain more mass and defined muscles, I am quite short (5’5’) and pretty light as well (60kg). I used to do weights rarely with completely no schedule and randomly. Since a few weeks ago however i have began a routine everyday which i take roughly 60-75 minutes to finish which i enjoy very much and i feel has been working, I do it at home with some cheap equipment from ebay and department stores.
The routine is this, and in this order. PS: I have no idea, the name of most of these exercises and with the dumbell ones they are all alternating hand not both hand at the same time.
-
Do about 5 minutes of skipping
-
50 Sit ups on inclined bench
-
3 sets of lifting 5kg dumbells on each hand separetly, 10x, 15x, 20x reps
-
Bench press 45kg x10

know, i started reading up on these forums just today and read a few things that made me think im doing it all wrong, i read that theres supposed to be a day for each muscle group and that there should be a rest period of like 2 days or something like that. Since my workout is everyday and basically all muscle groups does that mean it is not effective. I think i get good results from this one but can someone tell me if what im doing is very wrong, thanks alot. PS: i put a picture to show what results i’ve gotten from roughly one month, sorry i don’t really have a before pic.
