For beginners I suggest a low volume routine. Novice lifters usually grow no matter what they initially do. Every other day try and make it to the gym. Alot of the workout programs listed aren't for beginners. I'd suggest doing a push day, a pull day, and a leg day to begin with. 2 sets per exercise, 2 exercises per bodypart (excluding legs) Push-chest,shoulders,triceps; pull-back,biceps; legs-quads, hams, calves. Over time you can either add another exercise or add another set. Maybe both. I was taught to start slow and finish BIG. Chest as an example could have 2 sets of bench press (6-8 reps) and low incline dumbbell press (8-10 reps) then move on to shoulders: side laterals 2 sets (10-12 reps), and so on. If you are new then you'll most likely be very sore after a challenging workout. You'll need additional time to recover. So if you hit chest/shoulders/triceps on say Monday, you'll have 6 days to recover and hit them again with heavier weight.

Everyone here could post their routines but that won't mean that if Verbatimreturned put 10 pounds on in a 2 month period with his routine that you can too. I suggest what I put down and if it isn't enough for you, either add more weight, add more sets/exercises, or elliminate a rest day. Mix and match, test out every idea until you find the right formula for you.
