I work out at the gym around 5-6 times a week for an hour or more. I usually do body parts in pairs: back & biceps, shoulders & triceps, abs & pecks, then legs on their own.
All the exercises I do are from the insructors so im pretty confident with them.
I take whey protein, only after I go the gym and using the directions on the back of the tub.
The other sessions I have free in the week I just do general workouts for example doing chest press, curls, pullups, squats and some cardio work.
I am looking to get big but also get fitter because I play alot of basketball where power/strenght/speed are essential.

Post what you eat every day....be exact and I will help. It's your diet. Plus you told us nothing about reps/weights etc. How long is a piece of string?????

I vary my training styles,
1. Doing 3 sets, moving up 2kg each set and goin from 12 reps to 8
2. Staying at maximum weight and working till failure
3. Superseting specific part e.g peak of biceps on minimum weight (what i start on in number 1)
4. finally drop sets working at max until failure then dropping to minimum.

Where's the diet?

#1. is solid
#2. is fine as long as you get over 6 reps
#3. You need to give a better example, supersetting exercises for a peak in your biceps isn't the best example when looking for help
#4. you would be better served to skip the drop sets most of the time. Make your muscle get used to lifting the heavy weight. If you cannot get enough reps out of a certain weight, drop the next set down enough to get a solid number of reps accomplished.

breakfast: cereal & toast / bacon on toast / sausage on toaast with fresh juice or milk
lunch: noodles / pasta bake / sandwiches
dinner: one meat and pasta or spaghetti sometimes i have junk food though
I usually eat again at night around 12.
I take protein shakes after workout.

The superset i feel the best working is chest press with single dumbell pullover.

There's the issue. Protein (from an animal source) at every meal. 5-6 meals EVERYDAY!!

Breakfast add a 40g protein shake
Lunch ad 6oz of chicken breast
+ 2 meals like lunch
Dinner w/ 6oz of chicken/fish/steak

NO JUNK FOOD

some people say about the size of the meals going from large in the morning to big at night what do you recommend?

strawser9

hmmm?

Breakfast should be a large meal, there should be a large mid-day meal, and a large post workout meal

Fill in with another 3 meals of moderate size with adequate protein, and fat or carbohydrates depending on the time.
