Tell me if this sounds like a good routine for me guys:

  - Read up on how to lift properly, (and what lifts will help more than others,) - and start doing these reps every other day. LEAVE OUT THE CARDIO, (jogging, etc,) - as those excercises will most likely burn fat off for me.

  - Somebody mentioned that at my weight, I should consume "3500-4000 cals a day." I'll trust this suggestion and aim for exactly that! I can already tell it's a lot of eating lol, because I have a weight-gain powder, and 1 serving is litterally only 150 cals altogether. Even THREE CUPS of this a day puts me no-where near 4000 calories... (but I'll assume that tuna, meats, etc will help me add some numbers and get up there.) Any suggestions about this target?

  - I'm thinking about Ensures/Cliff Bars, because I remember being on chemotherapy once, and this was recommended to help me gain. I would eat a Cliff Bar with a cup of hot chocolate about two times a day, and I remember packing about 10lbs on. Good idea? Or does this fall in to the 'unhealthy' catagory? (Bad gaining...)

  - Here's a good question for a rookie. If YOU had to consume 4000 cals a day, what would YOU eat? Can somebody give me a list of what they personally would consume, (breakfeast, lunch, dinner,) - to base my meals around? It doesn't have to be 100% accurate, but it would help me establish which foods will help me climb to 4000 calories.

  - This is a question. How much weight could I expect to gain from consuming 4000 calories a day? (Again, I'm 5'11, 135lbs...) - I'm honestly trying to pack on about 40lbs.

*Thanks again everyone, you have no idea how much it means to me to get these responses our of pure kindness. (Sounds corny,) - but it's what makes the internet so valuable. I know that if I succeed, I'll also go out of my way like you guys to help people with the same problems. Hope to get more great responses because I'm almost ready to start!
