***First let me appologize for this being so lengthy but I really need some assistance. All help is appreciated!!!
Due to my work schedule, I have hardly no time to work out!
I can't work out in the mornings as I already have to be up by 5:30 AM and there is no way I could be up any earlier. I get home from work at 6:30 PM. I am off on Wednesdays and on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays I work a second job and have to leave as soon as I get home to be there at 7 PM. So the only days I really have to work out are Wed,Thurs night,Saturday,Sunday. Here is what I have been doing...
Wednesday:Run 1 mile in the morning and upper body at night.
Thursday:Lower body at night.
Saturday:Run 1 mile in the morning and upper body at night.
Sunday:Run 1 mile in the morning and lower body at night.
I am 22 yrs old 145 lbs and about 5ft. 9in. very little body fat. My MAIN goal is to get get bigger(upper body).
With my schedule, what is going to be the best system for what I am wanting to do? By the way not taking any supps right now except for multis. Should I be taking some and if so...what do you suggest? Honestly my legs are pretty tone (by the way am I running too much if I am wanting to get bigger?) so I could really care less about my legs. I am only working lower body to stay balanced. Can I focus all towards upper body with a little running? Please help!

I am not sure. I haven't lifted since high school so I just kind of jumped right in. I think I am on the right track though because I am having a hard time getting the last few reps in on my sets. I have been doing everything 3 sets of 10 except for preacher curls I have been doing 21's (3 sets).

try doing the mass program here
go to the resource part here there is a max rep part - it has you lift what you think - you want to not be able to lift another one without going over 17(I think)
after you know your max amount - you want to lift 60 to 80% of that amount (which should increase so you need to keep checking)
start with 60% & go up to 80% or 85% - it has you do fewer reps
