Well I thought it was time I got back into weight lifting, I did do weight lifting before but it was mostly fluff and I wasn't getting the results I liked so I stopped.

Yea, I'm a lightweight... I hope to gain at least 20lbs by the end of the year, and I am eating quite alot right now.

You are gonna make great progress, good job starting the weights at a nice easy level so you can ease into it and let the ligaments and tendons adapt. Def. a lot of potential with your build.

You can put on 20 pounds NO PROBLEM if you choose to eat like u weigh 20-40 pounds more already. Man up time... EAT BIG, TRAIN BIG, REST UP Your goal *IS* very achievable.

Yea, I am tall and lanky, but my cardio is in great shape and I am reasonably fit.

Anyways I am incorperating alot more Milk, Bread and Peanut butter into my diet if that doesn't fatten me up then I will just have to add even more stuff to my already enlarged diet.

I'm optimistic considering I just stumbled accross this website and most of the info I never even heard about, never trained in ANY of these lifts before except for bench which explains why I can bench more then I can Squat or Deadlift.

Anyways I'm planning on doing this training plan until I hit a wall, then I'll wait like a week and do it again and if I can't gain after that then I will keep doing the core excersizes but I will expand my regime to include more muscle specific task, right now I just gotta build my muscle base, anyways I'm sure it will work better then my dads total gym.

Getting past a wall isnt always solved by more training. Food and sleep are the first culprits. I have had a few minor stalls that were merely diet related.

I would suggest replacing pulldowns with pullups or chinups. Even if you can only do one, just start with sets of one and build up. Also, if you do your pullups before squat on day 2 you can recover a bit before OHP (military press) and still have pressing power. It would be good for you to focus more on pulling right now instead of bench, since you have already benched a bit.

Err, sorry I'm not doing lat pulldowns, I guess that was a poor choice to discribe what I'm doing.

In actuality when I said pulldown I really meant I'm holding a wieghted rope and pulling it with my abs down, I'm not sure what it's called though.

And I can do pullups, 10 in a row if I am determind.

I won't do any more arm specific excersizes then the ones I already have listed, at least until I start stalling badly, I think the Barbell Rows and Military Press should help with my traps/delts which need some work. If I feel like I've overtrained myself I will take a week off.

Again sorry for my poor choice of words, I don't know all the gym lingo. I didn't even know what the deadlift or Barbell rows where until a few days ago.

stay positive and the gains will come

Those would be called cable crunches or something similar. Those are good.
