Exclamation my diet and powerlifting routine- help!!

I'm having trouble coming up with a routine (i got some exercises- at the end) if you could quote my workout routine and add some suggestions i'd appreciate it! im trying to make a hybrid routine where i can achieve a lot of strength and an increase in muscle size (im unsure about the sets and reps)

My weight: 154lb
Height: 5'7"
Waist: 34"

DIET

Calories to consume to gain weight: 154x16=2464 cal
Protein= 154x1.3g =200.2g x 4= 800.8 calories [29%]
Carbs= 154x 2.5g=385g x 4= 1540 calories [56%]
Fat = 154x .3g=46.2g x 9= 415.8 calories [15%]

Total: 2756.6 calories (its higher then one to gain weight, but i guess thats ok because muscle burns fat faster)

Is that a good amount of calories to consume, or does it need to be higher? (i want to get stronger and keep my bodyfat around the same.)Also, one of the stickies said to eat .3-.4g per pound of bodyweight, but my book said i should consume 20% minimum fats [the book talks about gaining muscle for hardgainers though]... is my percent ok or not?

I plan on eating 5-6 meals a day and as many of them as actual food. I may however consume 2 protein shakes on training days.

I plan on eating (i'll try and divide the 2756.6 calories between the 5-6 meals... i may have to compensate because of the protein shakes:

breakfast -
oatmeal
fruits (5 servings throught day)
fat free milk (thats what i always get... that ok?)
whole wheat toast
margerine
hardboiled eggs
egg/cheese/ham sandwich
cheerios
bagels [whole wheat] w/ cream cheese or peanut butter

lunch/dinner (and the other meals)
tuna
chicken
whole wheat pasta
salmon patties
low fat meats
porkchops
hamburgers
green vegetables
cauliflower

dairy products - in moderation

sunflower seeds

i will avoid (or try too as much as possible ) -processed, frozen, or foods that taste really good: pizza, fried foods, candy, sodas

Water: i'll drink a gallon a day

Cheat day: once a week/ every 2 weeks: i can eat a candybar or a little ice cream, etc.


SUPPLEMENTS
1. Centrum multivitamin
2. ON 100% whey protein

Powerlifting/Bodybuilding routine

i'll do gripwork on my days off.

Mon: Arms and chest

Bench press 3x 6
Parallel bar dip 3x10
Curls 3x 6
Pull down 3x6

Tue: off

Wed: Legs

Squat 3x 10
Deadlift 3x 10
Calf raises 3x10

Thur: off

Fri: off

Sat: Back

Pullup 3x10 (pronated grip)

Sun: off

Man you need to go to the gym and lift first.
Do the beginners workout.
Get your form right.
Then worry about doing specific exercises for strength.
YOU CAN NOT JUMP INTO A POWERLIFTING WORKOUT UNTIL YOU LIFT WITH PROPER FORM!!!!!!!!!!
Now go lift!

Well the diet is really thought out. Your going for the Power Lifter with a Body builder type defined look right? just wondering...

Plus the squat and deadlifts on the same day? Both those are major compound excersizes that are usually meant for the big numbers. If u have enough energy to do both of them effectively on the same day ur probably not going heavy enough. Dead lift is more of a back excersize unless ur doing straight legged deads. Rows should also find a place on ur scheduel. There great for upper back, traps (i think). I also notice no shoulder and abs workout. Abs look good but also help with the power lifts. PJ can help u take another try at a workout. Listen to him man he knows his stuff\

PS. Im not going to quote the workout and to to fix it but will leave that to someone with more knowledge,

i prefer strength to muscle size but i would also like to get bigger. i dont need to have every single muscle in my body developed. so i want to look more impressive and get stronger. not look impressive and be weak or look weak and be strong .

Like c4detonater said, start on the beginners routine first.
You need a starter programme to get a bit of strength first - you'll bust your boiler if you start on a powerlifters routine without proper form or initial strength.

I agree, you cant rush it I think you need a bit of experience before jumping into the deep end. It's great that you ask loads of questions, damn I wish I knew what I was doing when I started a year ago, but I think it's time you lift lol.

I am very impressed with the diet. It may be a little high on the calories, but thats ok. you can always adjust if you think you are getting too much fat later on. I always like to start out high if i am tryin to gain weight.

Try to eat natural almonds instead of sunflower seeds. They are much better for you. about 22 almonds is 1oz!

With the whole calorie thing, I think its best just to eat as much as you can, keep it healthy and not worry about the numbers.

I think it's quiet good to try and use his numbers - simply eating as much as he can still may not be enough - his numbers will tell him he needs more!
