You have a clear, reasonable goal and a structured plan in mind. Everything looks good!
The mirror and how you feel (energy, lifts) will probably be a better guide to your progress than the scale. Just keep the calories up and adjust when necessary.It's about progress, not perfection.
I'm not an expert when it comes to most aspects of life; sometimes, I have no idea what I'm doing. The more I learn, the more I can do, and the more I can pay it forward and help others.

Why the bump? Is there a question here?Originally Posted by Glitch267
Short cuts to success are often paved with lies.

Sorry for that earlier bump, but now I have some real questions.
Here are some of starting pictures. What would you say my BF% is? I'm 5'7, 105 pounds, 19 years old. I also added these photos to my gallery.

I don't see that it matters. You need to gain weight and not worry about it. The moment you start worrying about fat gain will be the moment you start stalling on SS.
This is a marathon not a sprint, you won't get to the physique you want in a single step.

With your weight and lifting stats body fat is the least of your concern, lift hard, eat well, rest up; enjoy the gains you will make. Chances are you will be able to make leaps and bounds as far as how much you can lift for quite some time.
