My start here

Yep, you sound like a classic ectomorph. Train like a mofo and get strong first. Your natural leanness is probably a good thing as far as your hormones are concerned and you may experience some quite shocking (as in really good) strength gains before you start to fill out. Then when your do gain the mass, you'll have the lifts to back it up.
 
In terms of strength, it feels like (right now) I can make some good progress for most of the exercises at steady rate.

I just got back from doing the PTC Routine about half an hour ago, this time using 25kg. All of the exercises went well except for overhead press. I could only manage 3x5 for that one. Would it be better to keep that weight at 25kg or lower it? Or even just do it earlier on in the workout? Ie. After squats.

Ideally, I'd like to keep my lifts at roughly the same weight while starting out, obviously I won't be deadlifting and overhead pressing 160kg each, but for now I can hopefully manage the lower weights.

Any ideas on what I should do?

As for now, I'm off to get something to eat. I feel like I haven't eaten in days.
