    Help/Critique please. How does it look?

    I’m 36, 5’10 176 pounds. I’ve got a little fat around my midsection but not much. I’ve been training for about 2 years and have seen some results but am still very weak. I'm trying to get bigger and stronger really. Am hoping to do both.

    Diet:I'm modifying my diet now to eat 6 times a day, about 500 calories more then I burn (about 3300 calories) and anywhere between 200-250 grams of protein.

    My current maxes are:
    Bench 185x1
    Deadlift 205x5
    Squat 155x5
    Military 125x5

    My short term goals are:
    Bench 205x5
    Deaflift 275x5
    Squat 205x5
    Military 155x5

    Is this possible within a 6 month time frame? How does my workout look below?

    One hour of cardio a week split up 15-20 minutes a day is pointless, you wont even get your heart rate up. If you want to do cardio it should be 30 minutes minimum to one hour per day.

    If you want to gain strength then you shouldn't be lifting light it should be heavy all the time. I don't think you are doing enough, especially for leg day! You have hamstrings too and its weak to begin with for just quads.

    Why deadlifts only on saturday when you do them tuesday? Triceps do not need a day to their own.

    I'm sure diet also still needs work along with a better training routine....

    So any suggestions regarding the routine? What can I do to make it better besides adding more work on leg day?
