You’re right, that is a problem. You have to get organized. Progressive load is probably the most important aspect. If you’re doing things randomly and by feel without any mind to what you did before then you need to make a plan, start a logbook, and stick to it for a while before you bother with any sups. It doesn’t have to be complicated but your body doesn’t adapt to “random assaults on muscle tissue integrity”.

I think it’s great that you don’t do just one bodypart a day. And compound moves are definitely the way to go. You should make yourself a workout plan utilizing these compound movements and stick to it. Try to add weight to the exercises as often as you can.

Cardio: -
anywhere from 4 to 6 times a week, usually 45 min to
an 1hr +.
Running / Circuits of sprints, pushups, kickboxing, jumprope, / elliptical etc.

Sounds like you’re on the more is better plan. More is not always better. Better is better. For instance, if you have cardio covered and are doing sprint circuits, kickboxing, and such, then it sounds like there is no reason to have a weight routine that will put on some muscle (which will help keep down bodyfat). If your feel that is covered then I would recommend if your doing 6 to 8 pounds then eventually you need to be using 10, 15, 20 pounds. High reps or not.

Well, that about sums up you’re diet problems. I’m not sure exactly what your goals are but I can tell you that the sups just aren’t going to make a difference with what you are doing now. Your diet has to be organized and fit your goals. I’m not sure from your posts exactly what your goals are. You asked for opinions but at the same time you seem quite happy with the way you’ve been going so that makes it difficult to give specific advice.

It sounds like you a very active so if you want to be "hard" you'll need more protein and food in general to build muscle. Like I said I'm not really sure about you're specific goals or why you asked for advice. But I hope some of my response helped
