I forgot to add on a few ab exercises as well
Also I forgot to add this, what should my goal and my expectations be?

I'll most likely be doing this the whole summer, and I would like to know what your guys's expectations would be if you did something like this. How much muscle mass would you put on. How much overall weight gain? And how close/far away to 6 pack abs would you be?

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAASSEEEE respond, as this is about the one thing I am clueless about lifting on. Thanks in advance

Ok this is completely different than what the routine I thought I saw you doing in you journal. You don't need that many exercises..these exercises are ones that should be in pretty much any routine:
Squat
Deadlift
Bench
OH Press
Rows

Those especially the top 3. You can add some other isolations if you want, which you should, but not as many as you do. Also if your lifting 4 times a week, your working the same muscles twice in a row. Try starting strength:
Example:

Week 1:

Monday - Workout A
Wednesday -Workout B
Friday - Workout A

Week 2:

Monday - Workout B
Wednesday - Workout A
Friday - Workout B

Etc.

For the actual workouts read below:

Note: This doesn’t include warm-up sets

Workout A
3x5 Squat
3x5 Bench Press
1x5 Deadlift
2x8 Dips

Workout B
3x5 Squat
3x5 Standing military press
3x5 Bent Rows (or power cleans)
**2x8 Chin-ups (recommended mainly if doing the cleans)

I would write more but I gotta go eat and take a shower
Goals by end of 2009:
Bench 205
Squat 255 ATG
Squat Clean 185

Oh but to answer your questions..if you follow this good you should be gaining a few lb. of muscle (on average) a month..and your fat gains depends on how clean you ate..I'll tell you what I gained.
Started lifting in May 08 weighed 110 lb.
at the end of summer I weighed 120 lb. and was still lean
Kept gaining weight through football season, weighed somewhere in the 130's at my 14th birthday (dec 31)
I weigh like 152 right now. But I got a few extra lb. I am gonna try and cut to like 148 to get fairly lean.
Goals by end of 2009:
Bench 205
Squat 255 ATG
Squat Clean 185

alright thanks connelly, yeah I forgot another statement, that i will usually divide them into halves or thirds on the workouts. So on day A do set of wokouts A, B do B, etc. So I am mostly going with what you recommended, with a few modifications.

 Man i am forgetting lots on this post. lol.

Dips are like the one thing I really stuggle with, cannot do 8 reps in one set, most i've gotten was 4, so when i do them, i'll do say 3 sets of as many as possible, as I do not have that much upper body strength yet.

Yeah, I agree with Connelly on his routine, the basic compounds lift with do a lot more than all those little things will do for you, and you have a lot of volume in your routine too, try the routine Connelly suggested and see how it goes
5 RM
Bench Press: 240 lbs
Hang Clean: 225 lbs
16 yrs old
190 lb

goal bench by end of football season : 285

Try close grip bench press or skull crushers if you want to substitute something for dips, but imo dips are the best tricep exercise.
