I would recommend you find a basic program by Cressey, Defranco, Rippetoe, Cosgrove, Nate Green, Thibadeau, Waterbury, and follow it for 8-12 weeks. You are only hindering your progress by doing what you have been doing.
Post what you have eaten in the past couple days, as you probably could use some advice in that area as well.

Diet is almost the same everyday cause i work 11 hours so i pack what i can . its kinda difficult but i manage
Sorry real poor so trying to figure out how to get get lean and what not with budget . Think college poor .
was eventful to say the least . took it from light weights due to shoulder injury from the abuse. hence will work way up but started low. also dumbbell lunges are my worst . I couldnt believe i didnt finish 10 pounds but hey its only up from here.
Question of the day :
