sounds like you had no idea what you were doing and overworking your muscles.
theres a proper way to work out and harmful ways to workout
Voodoo hit it on the head, form is one of the most important. but you also have to allow your muscles time to heal back after ripping them up
Yeah if you want little pussy muscles with no results, My muscles somewhat adapted to the training after a few months, not much soreness whatsoever the day after. If you want to be ripped its simply a trade off, body building was never known for its health benefits.

having giant muscles does nothing for performance in any sport besides weight lifting. even profesional weight lifters that are in the olympics and stuff don't look as big as some of those roid freaks out there.
look at Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps, Usain is the fastest man ever and Michael Phelps is the best swimmer ever, neither have huge bulky muscles and don't look like body builders.
The Gracies are some of the best fighters ever and none of them look like big bulky body builders, yet they could kick just about any body builders ass no problem.
having bulky muscles does nothing except inflate your ego, which makes them the true pussy muscles.

here is what my body looks like now from doing the training scheduel i posted.
one thing nice about doing a shit load of cardio is that i eat a ton of food and i stay slim. I eat huge pancakes for breakfast, big bowls of cerial, chinese food, pasta for lunch and dinner. I eat probably 4000-5000 calories a day.

thank you for all your imput, you know what you are talking about 
im thinking about doing the same thing. i dropped from 6'0 185 (15 months ago) to 6'1 145 right now. i would love to get back to 170-180ish
KP - let me know what you end up doing, and what works for you. i need to start this as well
and what do you plan to do for calorie/protein?
its so hard to get those things in your diet and eat a lot of you are broke lol

Is a 16 year old guy having sex w/a 16 year old girl a pedophile?
If not, then how is a 30 year old considered a pedophile for doing the same thing?
I think y'all need to look up the definition for pedophile.

Im going to start right now by going to the store and getting a weeks worth of protein bars. Maybe 2 weeks
Luckily I have M&G dollars (meal dollars) that I can spend on that shit.
Monday I hit the gym and I will let you know how it goes. I have been in there several times already this year. Just not on a specific routine

you would be surprised how repulsing body builders are to a lot of women.
Actually, I might somehow work that into my psych study

It is going to be extremely hard for me to eat my own weight in protein
I went and picked out several flavors of the same brand. And I am hoping if I can eat 2 of these per day, coupled with 1 decent meal and some snacks. That I can both boost my protein level high enough and my calorie intake
The trying the Met-RX bars BIG 100, I am somewhat limited to what I can get since it must be bought at the campus store
They ranged from 28g-32g of protein and are over 300 calories each.
So it should be a good start

are the weight gainer shakes at GNC worth it (they have a lot of protein, and like 900 calories)? or should i just stick with the bars?

Thats probably what I need to do, but that shit is expensive. You are talking 60$ a month just in weight gainer.
I might pick up creatine and take it once a week with my hardest work out (I plan on having light days with max reps ie 20 reps at pushups) and then hard days where I do sets like 8, 6, 6, and max out.
The bars can get expensive too for sure. I just can spend up to 1,000$ of the schools money from my meal plan so I might as well spend it on protein bars instead of chicken wings all the time 
Im going to put together my workout plan by sometime this weekend and share with you. I also want to get some more advice from Voodoo. I dont want something monster, but something to add a bit of muscle and put on a couple extra pounds

kind of a side tracked question, but do you do pushups? how frequently? and how many do you generally do?

well, the biggest and most important thing is you need to start going to the gym atleast 3 times a week. i definately think you have lots of potential seeing as how you probably have very little fat on you at this point. for me, i started lifting seriously only about 4 months ago, and when i started my routine was much less than what it is now. I have technincly been lifting for 5 years since i started lifting when i was 16 (im 21 now), but it was off and on in my lifting and only not till recently have i been most serious about it in my lifetime.
also instead of trying to gain weight as you are i was trying to lose weight. about 4-5 months ago i weighed 200-210 lbs now i only weight 165-170 lbs. every pound lost was fat and I probably actually gained a little weight in muscle.
I started off doing simple cable work and worked my way up to where i am now. now most of my lifting is about free weights. before i could not do a single pull up now i can do 3 sets of 8 overhand should wide grip pull ups with short breaks with perfect form.
but as i was saying, you just basicly need to start getting into a routine and worry about nutrition and food after you have start getting seriously commited to going to the gym and lifting at least 3 times a week. once you have started working out & lifting for a month strait and haven't taken any weeks off and stuck to those 3 days THEN I would start looking into suplements.
the first month i started lifting i didn't even take protien shakes or anything religiously I would just eat whatever i wanted. now i try to consume a decent amount of protien on a regular basis but its still not all that important to me, the most important thing for me is just making myself get off my butt and getting in that gym and lifting weights for a half an hour to an hour 5-6 times a week now.
so my advice is don't completely ignore what youre eating, try to get some source of protien in your diet in every meal (if you eat meat eat some meat every meal and if your a vegetarian eat some dairy or beans every meal) but don't think too much about it. once you get your routine going on a constant level start looking into weight gainer creatine and all that stuff.
you most likely wont see results untill you've been lifting for 2 months or so. you will know when you are looking bigger cus family/friends/girlfriend whatever will start saying things to you about how your body is looking different and such.

oh yea and one more thing picklez, you talk about protien bars but if you are trying to save cash invest in a nice shaker cup (you can buy at GNC) and a big ass container of whey protien powder. just add protien and water, shake and your set. much cheaper than bars.

its usually an hour to two hours at the gym. usually my weight lifting routine lasts a half hour to an hour and then i always to stationary bike hard for 30 minutes. I can usually do 2 different exercises,3 sets or 6-8 reps on all my body parts (example: bench press & pushups for chest, lat pull downs and upright row machine for back ect) in an hour. when doing my super 6 power lifting barbell routine it takes a half an hour and for circuit training it usually takes 20-30 minutes. i like to take short breaks, like about a minute breaks between sets (except for circuit training which is no breaks), so that i go through my workout quickly and my heart rate stays higher. than if i were to take long drawn out breaks which i feel are unnecessary.
