for example
compounds:
deadlifts
bb lunges
squats
hack squats
benchpress,incline press, decline press
military presses
bb step ups
bench dips
bentover rows
bentover one/two arm long bar row
chin-ups
clean and presses
lat-pulldown
db flys
front barbell squat
hand stand pushups
hyperextensions
leg presses
Well you get the idea if you know what i mean
dips

vince gauranda is a little too high volume for someone trying to gain weight do 3sets of three excercises per bodypart each muscle once a week and train no more than 3-4 times a week 30-45 min sesions.
and for the first week or two because you had such a long layoff you might want to do full body routines 3 times a week but remember not to go over 45 min. These will help increase your nervous system efficiency to get back on mass gaining track!!!
