I posted on here a while ago about getting bigger but gave it away as a result of sickness...
All thats done and dusted now, and Im still sick of being that little runt.
When I first started I was at 55kg, I got up to 64kg or near there and now im back at 58kg.

Your stats are similar to where I started out...only heavier. The program in the original post here would be good for you. Stick to that, eat good food, and eat enough of it to gain 0.25-0.5kg/week (1-2kg/month), and you'll be on the road to gainsville.
No, no, no, I have a training history. I've been doing Crossfit for the past 5years, so these numbers aren't from my first day in the office. I'm a beginner going by the OP standards. I want to get better at the three lifts so I'm taking advice from the guys that know. I don't really do CF anymore as there are areas of it I disagree with, however I still run, row, do pull ups, push ups, sit ups etc etc. I want to stay as fit as I can be as well as strong.
I have started to do this program except I'm confused about how much weight to start with. I continued over from SS and continued what I was doing 5 of and it was a bit of a struggle but I just managed. I got half way through and did BB Curls, Squats and Bent rows and pretty much felt like I needed to stop. I am going to do the other 3 exercises next and when both days become controlled and comfortable I will start doing all 6 per workout.
Does this seem like I'm being a sook and need to push it harder or should I follow my body telling me I have had enough? - At the moment there are 3 of us doing it and I find that might contribute to too much time waiting but when it is my shot I still feel like I haven't rested enough but I manage

Start with the bar, and add 2.5kg every session until you cannot complete the required reps/sets. Then add 2.5kg only after you can complete the required reps

Excellent advice man. I already knew this type of programming but I'm very novice so I failed to see the signs and let my ego get in the way. Should I add 2.5kg every set after my warm sets at the start to fast track getting to that desired weight or not?
Thanks mate. I will reassess and start fresh. That way I will be able to get all 6 in. I honestly didn't think of that but it was stupid on my behalf not to think about it!

I'm talking about back angle. So I'm suppose to be leaning all the way over rather than half way ish. Thanks, I have watched people stand in a different position where they are squatting down back only half way bent and they pull the bar over the legs (almost touching and in some cases touching the legs by accident) so the bar is being pull backwards and upwards at the same time
