I would need to see the amount of sets and reps you're doing for each exercise.

i can tell you flat out that you're doing way too much cardio if you're truly bent on bulking at any decent rate.

That's a lot of cardio.. I'd say you could gain, but you better be eating a lot of calories. Wouldn't it be nice if we could say 'I only want to gain muscle'? To gain weight, you have to eat more calories than you expend. You try to work and eat the right calories so the surpluss goes to building muscle and there's very little left over for fat, but it's not exact. If you're gaining, you're going to gain some fat. You can minimize it, but not get rid of it completely.. Just like you can't lose fat without losing some muscle. Put on the muscle and then get rid of the fat. My opinion.

agree too much cardio... but should do some dumbell for your chest with the bench. Thats how I got some results.

number of sets and reps.

well for sets i do about 6 sets of any excercise i do. IM trying to get aas ripped as possible, but i think 4.5 is about the most my body is capacble of doing. So now its time to get swol!!!! i mean for reps, the lest amount i ever do, for example is bench on heavy days i go to 230 and do it 8-9 times. I know laugh at my strength everyone!!! hey im still growing, leave me alone

you're doing a lot of cardio for someone who wants to gain size- burning up energy you could be using to grow with
