About myself:

29m, 5'2", 142lbs. Been doing some home workouts as well as running around the neighborhood, but decided it wasn't good enough so I've been going to gym for the past 4 months. Average build, but definitely could lose some roundness around belly.

Diet & Lifestyle:

I do intermediate fasting, where I don't eat from 8 pm the previous night to 12 pm the next day. When I'm "allowed to eat", I eat a lot of rice (I come from a Korean household), but I always make sure to take a small portion of rice and eat more of side dishes consisting of veggies and protein. Always make sure to get at least 1 serving of fruits each day. Currently working as a remote Data Analyst, I find myself sitting down for the majority of the day. I tried to get up and walk around the house a lot, or take my dog out for a walk. I drink water frequently, around 6-7 cups a day, not counting the water I chug down during workouts. When it comes to sleep, I always make sure to get 7-8 hours of sleep each night.

What I'm hoping:

The triceps and biceps are being worked out pretty regularly, but Chest, Back, Shoulders, and Legs only get worked out once a week. I'm looking to balance out the routine to work out all groups regularly, to have all groups worked out at least twice a week

The actual exercises you are doing are fairly good but if you're trying to increasebthe amount of workouts here's the routine I use.

Day 1: cheat, shoulders, triceps Day 2: back, biceps Day 3: legs, abs Day 4: rest Repeat

I use this and I feel like I get plenty of volume but still enough rest and recovery.
