Hi all,
I am 34 years of age, 182 cm and 90 kg. I've been going to the gym for 6 months. I finished the shortcut to size twice and Von Moger twice but didn't feel that I am getting the muscle growth I wish esp. in arms and chest
my goal is getting good shapped upperbody as i have good muscle mass in legs and calves
Regarding the supp i use Whey Isolate , Creat., Glutamine, Pre-& Post- work Outs and BCAA
My Question : Why i didnt get the growth i want and wat's the best workout program to get the upperbody growth i wish ?
thanx in advance

Going to cut straight to the chase:
You're not eating anywhere near enough on which to grow.
If your goal is to get bigger and stronger, you need a complete overhaul in your routine and how much you're eating. Both programs you've tried to use are inappropriate for a beginner.
Start all over again, here:

If you don't know how to perform any of the exercises in this program, look them up here to learn how to do them correctly:

This thread will explain all the steps to figure your baseline of required protein, fat, carbs, and calories:
*Emma Leigh's calorie/macro thread: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=156380183
Get your regular-food nutrition squared-away and your eating on a consistent basis for several months, and then consider addition of possible supplements.
Guessing at portion sizes or relying on food package information will fail you. Buy an inexpensive digital food scale (~$30 at any big-box discount store), weigh your portions, and track them here: http://fitday.comNo brain, no gain.

above and
The physique you want- what is this? Assuming your looking what I consider a good physique- sports models, athletes, natural bodybuilders, muscular celebrities - this takes years of training, nutrition, and an intelligent way of going about both- you will not have this is 6 months, going to have to be patient and consistent- focus on strength progression, this will be easier on you mentally... Ive been training 15+ years, I'm still learning new things that improve my training and nutrition. Right now focus on the basics read the nutrition stickies and get on a beginner training program.
Supplements are an extra, not a need. Its a waste of money if training and nutrition arnt in place.Oct 2013- 4th Place Novice, 5th place Open NPC NY Grand Prix

You need to increase your food intake...Flexible diet so it makes it easier to get the calories in i.e the odd Mcdonalds or Pizza.
You make the common nebie mistake by thinking if you take BCAA and protein shakes that is the secret to amazing gains when really you need to be eating a lot more carbs
You will start to notice your energy increase, recovery increase, strength increase and weight increase after 2 or 3 weeks of eating ENOUGH food.YOUTUBE - Life of Rye

i were 110 kg came down to 87 and started to lift weight and reached 90 kg
in the same time i want to build muscle mass, i want to lose fats
So iam focusing on protein intake and my carb intake daily ~350-450 and daily Calories ~ 1900 - 2600
did u mean by increasing carb intake to follow "Dirty Bulking" Plan ?

Your two answers aren't really consistent. You didn't give us an serving sizes for these things but it certainly doesn't appear they add up to the intake you're claiming. And are you saying you are getting around 350-350g of carbs and protein combined? It doesn't really work like that. You should have specific goals for each of them. Also, to lose fat you need to be in a caloric deficit. It is extremely difficult to add muscle mass and almost impossible to add significant amounts while in a deficit. You need to re-evaluate and prioritize your goals and get your nutrition in check to achieve them.
