Hi Alvin, it's great that your starting on a bodybuilding routine, there are many fantastic benefits from it.

I would recommend that you increase the # of reps per set, 8-12 is the recommend reps for building muscle mass, 6 is a little less mass and more strength.

Once a week for 1 hour is a start, but going twice a week, even if your workouts are a little shorter, would give better results, going 3 times a week would be best.
