Fuck...I just spent half an hour posting and I lost it...Here it is again, nowhere near as good as the original post lol

6' 145lbs is pretty skinny...I used to be that, and thought the same way.

Get rid of the isolations as your main exercises, pick-up compounds (Deadlifts, Olympic Squats, Flat Barbell Benchpress, Military Press, Barbell Rows), make sure you get your Daily Protein Intake everyday.

Look up all the words I have bolded and know how to perform the exercises I listed as they will most likely be the staple of your routine.

Once you know which muscles the compounds work, find 2-3 more exercises (should be free weight exercises) that work each muscle, and work the same muscles on the same days, keeping your 3 day split if you want.

If it were me, I'd keep the compounds to 5 sets of 5 reps and the others to 2-3 sets of 8-10 reps. Work on getting your form down so that its damn near perfect. Once you've got form down, you can start working with weights that are heavy for you.

Do your homework...I know its alot of reading and pretty overwhelming at times, but it will save you so much time in the long run. Right now you should respond to any training, but doing it the right way from day one will keep you from training in the usual cluster-fuck style that the muscle mags pride themselves on.

(This is just a generalization meant to more or less get you to research things...but I'm sure someone else will chime in since I posted a few specific details ;) )
