And to LMD NO MEAL REPLACEMENT DRINKS corect?

Google 5x5 for routines and principles. MRP's are good if you're in a pinch and pressed for time, but, by no means, should they be a essential part of your nutrition.

Yes 5 sets of 5 ramping up to the top set, your bottom set is like your warm up. Read this page

Pretty much what Rodja said. They are just such poor quality and packed with sugar. If you are going to get one, be sure to look into a higher quality MRP and not some of these MuscleTech products and such. Not trying to pick on them but some of them are just terrible.

I Like the simplicity of the Excel chart Only problem is i dont know my tru maxes to lift so ill just play with the numbers but thanks.

My question now would be is that plan good or what would be a good one to follow
If some one could get me a monday-friday plan or what muscle groups to work each day it would be great.

Yeap just play around with the numbers. i diddent even use that chart i used to concept of it. Do like squats bench row and a couple other things at the end on mon, wed do squat military and deads with couple things at the end and fri is the same as monday but increasing the top set of 3.

Would There be a better way to do thoes work outs on a 5 day routine or 4 at least i try to hit the gym every possible day i can

hey man how's it goin? i'm kinda in the same boat as you as in i'm trying to gain weight now. i read that one of ur main goals is to up ur squat, dead, and bench i'm guessing that you want as big of an increase as possible so i would reccomend you kidna do a powerlifting weight split.

like this:

mon. 5X5 dead, w/ other back exercises like pulldowns, rows, & goodmornings

wed. 5X5 bench, w/ other chest & tri. exercises like dips, tri. extensions, etc.

fri. 5X5 squat, w/ other leg exercises like leg press, hack squat, etc.

and if ur looking for some bi's, abs, calves, delts you can do light workouts on tues, thurs, & sat if u want. but since ur trying to pick up ur key lifts put them first.

here's the kicker tho, since you don't have all the time in the world to get ur lifts up i'd get a good spotter i can depend on and have him help me get or at least try to get an additional 5-10lbs per exercise per week. some weeks u may get it some you may not, it'll test ur stregnth and will power but it helped me get my lifts up.

i dunno how long u have to build but if u do this for three months then you're key lifts outta go up a good bit.

i hope i helped some, and just be sure to keep at it & EAT!!

happy lifting

thanks that pretty helpful saying do all the powerlifts on mon-wed-fri and then do all the lighter ones on tuesday and such.
