Weekend is the same as Wednesday

Any help is appreciated. Current stats are 133 and 6'0
 
Goal is to get to 170
5% bf atm.
Tri dip and chin up has improved.
Bench has gone up. Squats are slowly improving. And as far as weight, I can see my arms chest and legs bigger, but the scale seems to stay the same
 
Eat. 133 at 6 feet is pretty low.

you'd prolly see better results from a higher frequency program. Like hitting the big compounds 2-3x a week. And keep in mind gaining muscle is a slower process than we'd like to believe.
 
Need more rest days to me. Can't build muscle if you don't give them a chance to heal. Like how you do chins and pullups after your back day, seems counter productive. Now when you reach your weight goals conditioning on off days would be alright but until then cut it out.

Like Buildingup24 said eat and compound movements. Different things you can try....push,pull,legs,off,repeat or the way I like it is pull,push,legs because I like to Deadlift on pullday. 5*5/3*5 which is Mon,Wed,Fri. 5/3/1 which is Mon,Tues,Thu,Fri. And so on. Main thing is every couple days give your body a break to recover. Eat big, lift big with plenty of rest you'll get big.

Dl 4 sets 10, 8,5,12+ to failure

100% agree with JB. Decrease volume. 1 heavy set on compounds, strict yet heavy for 8-12 on all other lifts to failure. In and out of the gym in 50 minutes unless you are doing less than a 5 day split, maybe 1:20 then.. You need to eat a couple thousand calories in the first 2 hours after your workouts. You've got a good 50 lbs to put on so most of your hard work is going to be outside of the gym..
