Thanks for the help. I'm going on my 6th month of lifting and I started out doing 10 to 12 reps and every two to four weeks I've incrased the weight and dropped the reps to slowly get into lifting heavier weight. I've been doing 4 reps/set now for three weeks. The routine that I've been doing for the last 4 months is as follows:
Sunday
-------
Bench Press - 3 or 4 sets of 4 reps
Incline Bench Press - 3 sets of 4 reps
Military Press - 3 sets of 4 reps
Standing Dumbell Side Raises - 2 sets of 10 reps
Tuesday
--------
Squats - 3 or 4 sets of 4 reps
Deadlifts - 3 sets of 4 reps
Lying Leg Curls - 3 sets of 8 to 10 reps
Standing One Leg Calf Raises - 2 sets of 12 reps
Thursday
---------
Lat Bar Pulldowns - 3 sets of 6 to 8 reps
Bent Over Barbell Rows - 3 sets of 4 to 6 reps
Barbell Curls - 3 sets of 4 to 6 reps
Dumbell Curls - 1 set of 4 to 6 reps
When I do the deadlifts I start out by mostly driving with my legs first and then using my back. When I get tired I think I tend to not squat down as far and mostly use my back. The deadlifts really wipe me out, especially after doing squats, which pretty much wipe me out even before I get to the deadlifts. Those two exercises are the most difficult exercises I've ever done. When I do those exercises It takes so much effort it almost feels like I'm going to have a heart attack and die. Not litterally, but it certainly feels that way.
