Ok, completely new to doing weight lifting the PROPER way.

[ExtremeSkinny]

Ok, hard facts, I've been to the gym at UVM all last year, got stronger but gained no weight.

I'm 5' 10''
I weigh 135 lbs.

I have a bench, curling bar and barbells.

I max my bench out at 145.

So, My plan is to get meal replacement powder so I can gain weight, since I can't actually cook real food six times a day. I just need a workout plan.
I figure I should do three sets of 10 of benching, curling, shoulder shrugs, and the tricept excercize where you have one knee on the bench, foot on the floor, and bringing the weight from the floor to your chest.

I'm really new to this, so any suggestions?

Do bench press, bent over rows, and squats. Everything else isn't going to compare. You don't need a power rack to squat either.

Welcome to elite!!

The first thing is the exercise that you're talking about for triceps is actually a back exercise called a db row, and it should be brought up with the weight further down your body, close to your midsection.

For gaining weight, meal replacement shakes help, but nothing is better than real food.

Check out the training vault sticky at the top of the page. There are a lot of great links in there, including several that show how to perform the different exercises.
