Workout Regimen for in shape hackers

#1
I've been working out for the past 3 months now and have made some progress but want to gain more muscle. My current regimen is 120 crunches, 100 push ups, and 40 chin ups 5 times a week as well as 50 body squats 3 times a week for legs. Can any one suggest any improvements for my regimen? I've also been thinking of using creatine what do you guys think? Thanks!

you won't gain muscle doing crunches and pushups. your two best options are either joining a gym and doing a proper routine, or find ways to add weight to bodyweight exercises. creatine won't do much for you. make sure to eat a lot of calories and get your protein.
