Need help in choosing a workout routine.

[Jumpjump]

Hey, I'm a begginer, I've been lifting for about 2 months and all I want is to gain muscle, as much as possible. In this past few weeks all I've tried to do was get my form right on my squats, bench press, deadlifts and a few other exercises to prevent serious injuries like I've had many times before.

I'm skinny fat I think, I'm 6'4 with 205 pounds and around 15-19% bodyfat.

I'm pretty much open to any routine except doing pull ups or chin ups since I can't even do a single rep. I can't even bend my elbows but I can do pull downs with more weight than I have which is weird I think. I was wondering if you could point out one of the routines on the stickies that will get me a lot of strength and muscle or any other routine that you know that has great results.

It's BECAUSE you can't do pullups and chinups that you should be trying to do them, not avoiding them

Try IceCream Fitness 5x5 Novice Routine- It is on the stickies in this section

I can't even do one rep. I've tried many times, I use all my strength but I don't even move. I probably need to gain more strength and only then start doing pull ups and chin ups.

@DarylAng1996

I'll check that routine thanks.

Since you can't do a chin-up, this routine is just right for you. You can choose not to do chin-up (at least 5 reps per set) in this routine and swap it with straight bar curl/ incline curl. I am in my first week on this routine.

If your working out at a decent gym they should have an assisted pullup machine. If not then hmmm...
