Used Book in Good Condition
The OP's nearly 6 feet and he's 128 pounds. He definitely needs to pack on the muscle. Questions_Life, I recommend that you commit to a regimen of weight lifting and gain at least twenty or so pounds. Get this book if you can.

With strength training, more is less. Don't work out more than once a week. You will get better results when you have sufficient rest time. If you want more muscles, lift a medium amount, and repeat no more than 24 times (3 sets x 8 reps). Once you go beyond 24 your gains tend to diminish. Also, increase your weight a little. You can, gradually, double the weight of your bicep curls. And don't forget to do different exercises. You're missing muscles by doing the same routine over and over again. Instead of using a machine for your back, you may want to do pull-ups instead.
I recommend this book!

old school book is good. I like it cause it has a reference for lift technique for all the lifts you could think of. bodybuilding.com has tons of info on pretty much everything, good articles, there's better blogs out there just go looking, but bodybuilding.com it's waaay to focused on selling shit you probably shouldn't put in your body.
