IA's Hardgainer routine

[cb25]

Hey hey...got a couple questions to throw out there, see what you guys think.

First, a quick background...I've been almost completely away from any sort of physical exercise/diet for over a year. And the year before that wasn't any better for my diet (workouts were fine at that point). (funny how quickly things can slip away from you and how much time can pass before you realize.)

At this point, I'm 6'1" and about 240lbs. BF is wayyy too high, but I haven't been measured. I was a chubby kid growing up, and i'd venture to say i'm at my alltime fattest right now. I may be overestimating, but i'd guestimate 25-30% bf.

I've been doing too much thinking and not enough working recently. Regardless, I'm getting back to the gym, trying to get myself back in form. I'm planning on starting with IA's hardgainer routine - which for those who don't know, is a 2-3day/wk lifting schedule. I'm planning on starting slow and focusing on form - and getting my cardio up on the off days. After a few weeks of easing back in, I plan to start attacking a little harder - pushing the weights higher, etc.

I'll take any advice you can offer here - whether it be on the routine itself, suggestions for cardio, etc.

Here's the routine, as I had layed it out. Remember, 2-3 days per week, depending on recovery. I'm planning on doing cardio 5-ish days per week as well, hopefully to have 1 day completely off from everything per week.

Wk 1:
Day A: Deadlifts, Lat pulldown (until I can do pullups again), Barbell curl, Squats (20 rep)
Day B: Bench press, Dips, Military press

Wk2:
Day A: Squats(or leg press), BB row, DB curl, Deadlifts (20 rep)
Day B: Incline press, Dips, DB military

I'm planning to add in abs/calves one of those days as well.

Like I said, any advice would be appreciated. I'm trying to start from square 1 and try to forget all the bad habits/misinformation i've gained over the years.
