I go three times to the gym per week. I'm getting noticeable improvements lately, wondering if I can do any improvements. No splits at the moment.

    I would agree with @sobuddywhoneedsyou@lemmygrad.ml again and say you'll want to focus on big complex lifts then. Bench, overhead, squat, deads, barbell rows, etc. The dips you've got are good, and I'd add some sort of pull/chin-up. Wide grip is the most effective in my opinion, but they are rather difficult and you do have lat pull downs, so neutral grip could be good too.

    Once you get more comfortable with lifting, I'd say Olympic lifting might really be where it's at (assuming you have the space/equipment for it). Moving bigger weight with a wide variety of muscles is a great way to build mass and health. We all love curls and having pump in the arms, but for health and mass, you can't beat a powerful clean and press. Big weight, lots of muscles involved and puts a good amount of stress on your cardio system for health.
