got a question about bulking

You should ask this on a workout sub. Post it as a newbie question.

You haven't provided much information but fortunately fitness isn't that hard.

So first I'd say those are very short workout periods. As a newbie 45 minutes to an hour is good.
You should work each body part at least once every week. 4-5 workouts per week is probably good.
Rest is very important so don't neglect it.
Drink a lot of water.
Supplements are supplements, they help a little in addition to what you're already doing, there is no magic pill. (The majority of supplements out there are actually snake oil)
How you decide to do your split is up to you. There are a lot of free workout routines out there. I follow more of a PPL these days but I mix it up still.
You should establish your goal weight. After that use a calorie calculator to put you in the ballpark of how much you should eat daily to gain x pounds per week.
As far as nutrition goes just have a balance. Eat relatively healthy but feel free to enjoy the unhealthy stuff in moderation.
Get a decent amount of protein per day, between .5 grams to 1 gram per pounds of body weight is probably plenty.

Also certain genetic factors can make a very big difference in muscle gain like muscle fiber types, myostatin, thyroid, anatomy etc. Just don't follow Somatotype Psuedo science.

Protein shakes, wggs, chicken breasts, veggies & fruit (lots of them), always have something on you to eat.

Focus on consuming an adequate amount of protein. And look at where you're getting your calories from dont just be eating junk all the time.

20/30 mins is def too short, i’ll tell you that right off the bat - and if you are bulking you’ll need to lift as much as you eat, so to speak - so that brings me on to my next point, idk where you stand, how much you weigh, how much muscle you currently have, etc (which makes it hard to properly give advice), but generally 20/30mins isn’t nearly enough, you need isolated and compound exercises, and you need to lift as heavy as you can if you’ll be bulking
