pls help me out

i seriously need help now i hope u can advise what i can do.
first off all i was skinny, i started eating alot, i did put mass on but the thing is genetically i cant be big (thats not really what i want) but all the food i eat instead of going to my arms so they become big it goes to my belly and bum. the other thing i noticed is that now i cant stop eating lol, also because i was trainning to get big, the definition in my muscle has decreased so they just look like slab of meat :(

i still want to get big and have definition (i dnt mean like arnold big i want to be average)
i changed my routine to this ( i m 16 yrs old and weigh 66 kg and i train at home)

Bench press 60LB 10x3
standard barbel curls 40lb 10x3
millitary press 40lb 10x3
flat flys 20lb 10x3
(this is the new bit i added in so i get big aswell as keep my muscle defined)
tricep extension 20lb 20x1
hammer curls 20lb 60x1

before i added the 2 new exercises i did tricep extensions with 30lb 10x3 and reverse grip curls 30lb 10x3

i want to know is my before exercise better than my new one??
 
Genetically you can't be big? The body is a wonderful thing; it will adapt and grow if you feed it enough and lift hard. You can't 'bulk' without putting on fat. So, you'll have to deal with a bit of fat if you want to put on muscle. The fat is easily enough dieted off.

What movements are you doing for your back?
 
i dont really do my back im concentrating on my arms chest and shoulders for now but gradually im getting all my muscles involved

i just wanna know that after my workout which i train for strenght (high weights low reps which builds muscle) should i do do 1 set of low weight and high reps to get the definition ?

Here is my .02 cents. BIG mistake, not training your back. If you want to concentrate on bodyparts, concentrate on legs, back and chest. I assure you if you train these bodyparts with enough intensity your arms and shoulders will grow.
 
thanks alot that helped me with my first problem
i have another problem
i have never been to a gym in a my life to train ive always done it at home. after couple of weeks of working out with free weights i have this pain in my elbow, tingly feeling in my back and when i move my arms around i here this clicking and ripping sound in my shoulder joints. after i noticed this i took a week rest, then started again. the elbow pain went but the rest was still there. 2 weeks back into working out all those pain came back up .

what should i do ?
 
lol the sequence of question then answer is so funny wen u read the whole discussion straight down. anyway i know back, cardio and iet is important but why are legs so significant?
 
the last thing i wanted to know is how many different exercises and reps should u do for the same muscle group per workout ?
 
thanks so much i was doing 60 per muscle and 4 times a week is this what caused all these pain and tingly feelings?
 
i know back, cardio and diet is important but why are legs so significant

Why would the very thing that holds up your body not be something you want to work out? Its kind of a no brainer to me, i can see why its not that glamerous to work the legs, not a "sexy" as a six pack, but its very important to work your legs.
 
If you don't work your legs you're only working half your body. That and you'll look like a light bulb and chicks will point and laugh.
 
i have pain in my shoulder joints they hurt at certain angles, i think i got them from bench pressing, am i allowed to workout or not ?
 
Your best bet is to listen to your body, stay away from what hurts. Ice is your friend, use it. Do a google search on shoulder therapy exercises, there's lots of info out there on this subject.
