just starting...here are my lifts
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 140 lbs w/ clothes and shoes
I've lifted weights for sports in the past, but not solely for weight lifting. For others my size (skinny), how is this as a starting point:
bench: 3x6 @ 115, 125, 135 (weights for each set)
pullups: 3x6 w/ 20 lb dumbell
curls: 3x6 ez bar 65 lbs
squats: 3x8 145 lbs
Good/bad/avg for a beginner my weight?

Those numbers look pretty good for a beginner at your bodyweight. The pullups are definitely good.
P-RR-S is a sound program, but make sure your diet is in check. You won't be gaining any mass if you don't eat enough.
Also, if you are a beginner, you may be better off sticking to a simpler program for the time being. You don't need to jump into more complicated protocols just yet.
Check out my template for designing full body and split routines.The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

CowPimp, do you personally prefer full body or split routines? Which do you think would usually be best for gaining mass/definition?

...split routine probably...but if ur a beginner i'd suggest some like this split
mon. upper
tues.off/cardio
wed.lower
thurs.off/cardio
fri.upper
but fullbody would be great too but personally think it would take too much time but i got most results from the split i posted up above the upper/lower/upper one but now i'm doing this.
mon.shoulders, tri's
tues.back,bi's
wed.off/cardio
thurs.chest,abs
fri.legs
and its working well for me.

I prefer full body routines, but my preference really should have no bearing on what you do. Originally Posted by Zinthar
